History
The area of Jacksonville has been inhabited for thousands of years by various cultures of indigenous peoples. At the time of European contact, the area was inhabited by the Mocama, a coastal subgroup of the Timucua people. In 1564, French Huguenot explorer Jean Ribault charted the St. Johns River, calling it the River of May because he discovered it on May 1. Ribault erected a stone column at his landing site near the river's mouth, claiming the newly discovered land for France. In 1565, Spanish forces led by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés established the settlement of St. Augustine, the first European settlement in what is now the continental United States.
In 1822, a year after the United States acquired Florida from Spain, the town of Jacksonville was platted along the St. Johns River. The city was named after Andrew Jackson, the first military governor of the Florida Territory and seventh President of the United States. Jacksonville was incorporated as a city in 1832.
