Apalachicola River
The Apalachicola River flows south through the Florida Panhandle into the Gulf of Mexico, formed where the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers meet at the Georgia border. In 1763 the British used it as the boundary between their new provinces of East and West Florida. Its valley was home to Creek and Seminole communities and the site of the Negro Fort, destroyed by US forces in 1816.
