Alapaha

The Alapaha River flows south through the lowlands of Georgia and Florida to join the Suwannee. Its winding course passes through a country of woods and wetlands. In the seventeenth century the Spanish established the mission of Santa María de los Ángeles de Arapaha in the broader region, north of the Northern Utina missions. The chiefs of Arapaha and neighbouring mission towns did not join the Timucuan rebellion against Spanish rule in 1656.
