Apalachee

The Apalachee lived in farming chiefdoms between the Aucilla and Ochlockonee rivers in northern Florida. Their capital was Anhaica when Hernando de Soto occupied it in 1539. Spanish missions later spread through Apalachee territory. In 1704 English colonists and Muscogee allies destroyed the mission network, and the Apalachee fled, were captured or moved to other settlements.
