St Marks City Clerk
St. Marks, Florida, established in 1679, is one of the state's oldest settlements, originally serving as a Spanish fort at the confluence of the Wakulla and St. Marks Rivers. The town holds historical significance as a trade and defense port during Spanish, British, and American rule, with landmarks such as the San Marcos de Apalache site and the adjacent St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge attracting history and nature enthusiasts.
Over the years, St. Marks has evolved, notably enhanced by Florida's first railroad in 1836, which connected it to Tallahassee and solidified its status as a shipping port. Today, the community continues to thrive with various local events, parks, and recreational facilities that highlight its rich heritage and natural resources.
