Everything about Apalachicola Tribe totally explained
The
Apalachicola (also called
Pallachacola) were a group of
Native Americans related to the
Creek. They spoke a
Muskogean language related to
Hitchiti. They lived along the
Apalachicola River.
Around
1706 some of the Apalachicola moved from the Apalachicola River area to the
Savannah River, close to the colony of
South Carolina. They may have been captured during English-sponsored
slave raids and forced to relocate to the Savannah River. A census taken in
1708 described the Apalachicola of the Savannah River as the "Naleathuckles", with 80 men settled in a town about 20 miles up the Savannah River. A more accurate census was taken by
John Barnwell in early
1715. This census describes the Savannah River Apalachicola as living in two villages and having a population of 214 people — 64 men, 71 women, 42 boys, and 37 girls.
In the
Yamasee War of 1715 they joined in the attacks on South Carolina. Afterwards the survivors returned to the Apalachicola River, near the juncture of the
Chattahoochee River and
Flint River. Some later moved north to live along the Chattahoochee River in present-day
Russell County, Alabama.
After two
Indian Removal Act treaties made in
1833 and
1834 with the
United States, the Apalachicola moved, in 1836-1840, to present-day
Oklahoma.
The Apalachicola River is named after them, as is
Apalachicola Bay and the city of
Apalachicola, Florida.
