Gulf County, located in the Florida Panhandle, was established on June 6, 1925. It was named after the Gulf of Mexico, which borders it to the south. The county was created from a portion of Calhoun County and has its county seat in Port St. Joe. Historically, the area was inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Creek and the Apalachee.
The Spanish were the first Europeans to explore the region in the early 16th century. Ultimately, the territory was ceded to the United States in 1819 by Spain through the Adams-Ons Treaty. The region saw significant growth and development during the 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily due to its booming maritime and lumber industries.
The St. Joseph and Iola Railroad played a key role in Gulf County's development, transporting goods from the port to various locations throughout the southeastern United States. In 1942, the establishment of the Apalachicola Northern Railway helped improve the county's connectivity even further.
A fun fact about Gulf County is that it is home to the Constitution Convention Museum State Park, a historical site commemorating Florida's first constitutional convention in 1838. Delegates from across the territory gathered in St. Joseph, the largest city in the area at that time, to draft the state's first constitution in order to apply for statehood. The museum includes displays of historical artifacts and offers guided tours, providing an educational experience for visitors interested in the state's early history.
