Jacksonville, Florida Area
Northeastern Florida was a popular place during the 16th century: It was
repeatedly fought over by the Spanish, French and British. Spain claimed
Pascua Florida in 1513 for the King of Spain. Jean Ribault landed in
1562 to claim it for the King of France, built a stone monument
commemorating the event, and two years later established a colony. That
made the Spanish mad, and they destroyed both the colony and the French
fleet. The British had no better luck and had to settle for colonies
further north.
