 Unit 1: Florida Beginnings
  From British Rule Through Frontier Territory
1763-1845
: Britsh Rule
British Florida

The settlements of St. Augustine and New Smyrna brought a new and diverse population to Florida and the Kings Road that connected the two settlements became the impetus for further settlements for the next century.
