Beginning in the 16th century, the region was colonized by Europeans, becoming part of Spanish Florida.

Tallahassee became a city and the state capital of Florida in 1821; the American takeover led to the settlements' rapid expansion as growing numbers of cotton plantations began to spring up nearby, increasing Tallahassees' population significantly.
