Question: What Florida town, incorporated in 1829, was first known as the Town of West Point?
Answer: Apalachicola
Apalachicola was originally incorporated in 1829 as the Town of West Point, but the town changed its name to Apalachicola in 1831 to match the name of the post office established there. By the mid-1800s, Apalachicola’s waterfront was lined with brick warehouses and broad streets to handle the loading and unloading of cotton. At one point, Apalachicola was the third-largest port on the Gulf.
