HISTORICAL SITE SURVEY
No State in the Union has a more historic back-
ground than Florida. Since its discovery in 1612
by Juan Ponce de Leon its people have lived under
five flags. It has played its part in all the ma-
jor events which have shaped the course of our
country. Few people realize this and few people
know the location of the spots where Florida's
part in these events was played.
This survey, sponsored by the State Planning
Board, was conceived for the purpose of facilita-
ting the marking of these spots by the State Road
Department under authority granted by the State
Legislature in 1935.
The Supervisor of this survey desires to express
his appreciation of the assistance rendered by the
Federal Writerst Projects and the State Archives
Survey and also the Federal Art Project for the
illustrations in this report.
