Capachequi

Capachequi was a Native province in the river country of southwestern Georgia. In March 1540 Hernando de Soto's army came here after leaving its winter camp among the Apalachee. The Spaniards built a barge to cross a swollen river, probably the Flint, before entering the province. Chroniclers described a brief clash with its inhabitants and noticed a change in the style of their houses. From Capachequi the expedition continued toward the chiefdom of Toa.
