Azile

Asile was a town of the Yustaga people in northern Florida, east of the Apalachee country. In the seventeenth century the Spanish established the mission of San Miguel de Asile there, one of the mission communities linked by roads through the interior. A Spanish list of 1675 placed Asile near the mission of San Lorenzo de Ybitachuco. Its history belongs to a borderland where neighbouring Indigenous communities encountered the expanding mission system of Spanish Florida.
