Chattahoochee's captivating history
Atop high bluffs along the banks of the Apalachicola River in North Florida and straddling the Florida-Georgia state line, Chattahoochee exudes southern charm in every way. While it may be a small town, this rural community in the Sunshine State treats residents to a vibrant downtown, a unique, preserved heritage and abundant outdoor recreation. Established as Mount Vernon in the 1820s, this scenic river city has been at the center of it all – from being the site for Native American mound complexes and trade centers, a thriving riverboat port, one of the first observatories, a major railroad junction and a landmark Supreme Court case involving the historic Florida State Hospital. Built on a former arsenal site used during the Seminole Wars and the Civil War, the Florida State Hospital Administration building played a pivotal role in this town’s legacy and is not only on the National Register of Historic Places but the city’s largest employer.
