70 Miles from PCB, Apalachicola - AP-ə-lach-i-KOH-lə) , the county seat of Franklin County, Florida, United States, on the shore of Apalachicola Bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico. This is one of our favorite small towns and we visit it often. It is lined with Historic homes, a fantastic Bay and numerous great eating and dining options. It is a very walkable town, drop the car, walk and pitstop. The Aplachicola people, after whom the river and, ultimately the city, are named, lived along the lower part of the Chattahoochee River in Alabama and Georgia in historic times, until the 1830s (the Spanish included the Chattahoochee as part of the Apalachicola River). The name is a combination of the Hitchiti words apalahchi, meaning "on the other side", and okli, meaning "people". In original reference to the settlement, it probably meant "people on the other side of the river". Between the years 1513 and 1763, the area that now includes the city of Apalachicola was under Spanish jurisdiction as part of Spanish Florida. More than 90% of Florida's oyster production was harvested from Apalachicola Bay in past years. Sadly the oyster beds were destroyed by Hurricane Michael but fear not oysters are still served by the thousands and many come from Cedar Key just up the coast. Every Fall, the town hosts the Florida Seafood Festival. In December Santa arrives by shrimp boat.
