About The Community
It started with the very annexation of Florida in to the glorious part of the United States. Much of the State was in Spanish hands in the early 19th century, and it was left to John Blunt, a Chief of the Seminole Indians, to guide pioneering forces to obtain the State from Colonial hands. The President of the United States met John Blunt in person to honor and thank him and the reservation gifted to him on the banks of the bounteous and magnificent Apalachicola River became the place that we know as Blountstown today.
