Explanation. |
The Spanish explored what is now Alabama, but I can find no official record of a Spanish Mission in that state. I have been informed of a possible marker near the Georgia border on U. S. Highway 165 at Holy Trinity, Alabama. While the marker is for a fort, there may have been a Mission attached. Marker HCC notes a Spanish fort that stood from 1689 to 1691 along the Chattahoochee River, referred to as the "fort among the Apalachicolas". The fort was destroyed when the garrison was recalled to Saint Augustine amid threats by the French. I am researching possible French Missions in that state. |
