History[edit | edit source]
Brief Timeline[edit | edit source]
Up to the early 1700s - the tribe lived in the Florida panhandle
1528 - Spanish explorers first encountered the tribe
about 1600 - Spanish Franciscan Monks started a successful mission with the Apalachee tribe (Mission San Luis)
February 1647 - the Apalachees unsucessfully revolted against the Spanish in current Leon County, Florida, so the Spanish forced the men to work for them
1701 to 1704 - warfare and disease devastated the tribe
1704 - survivors fled to Louisiana, Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama
Many survivors joined other tribes.[1]
1704 - the majority of the Apalachees who lived in the Mission San Luis moved westward to the French Mobile
1763 - most of these Apalachees moved to Rapides Parish in Louisiana, where about 300 of their descendants still live, the only documented descendants [2]
