Uriutina

Uriutina was a Timucua town in the wooded interior of northern Florida. In 1539 Hernando de Soto's expedition travelled through this country on its way toward Apalachee, crossing rivers and passing a succession of Native settlements. Rodrigo Ranjel, who chronicled the journey, described Uriutina as a pleasant village with plentiful food. The expedition later reached Napituca, where its encounter with Timucua warriors ended in bloodshed.
