St. Marks Lighthouse, located in Crawfordville, Florida, has a rich historical significance dating back to the 1820s when it served as a crucial port for agricultural products in Middle Florida. The lighthouse was authorized for construction in 1828 to improve navigation in the shallow waters of Apalachee Bay and the St. Marks River, ultimately becoming a vital aid for maritime traffic.

Completed in 1830, the lighthouse faced initial construction disputes but was successfully rebuilt to meet specifications. Over the years, it has stood as a testament to the region's maritime history and continues to be a point of interest for visitors exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
