HISTORY
CLOSEST FREEWAY: I-10
APPROXIMATE POPULATION: 58,193
Though they had traveled this area as early as 1559, the Spanish
did not settle here permanently until 1696. Switched from Spanish,
to French, back to Spanish, English and then once again back
to Spanish control, this area was captured by Andrew Jackson
for the US in 1814. After it was turned back over to Spain, Andrew
returned in 1818 and took it again. Yet Pensacola didn't officially
become part of the United States until 1821.
