A Brief History of Calhoun County

Calhoun County was established in 1838 during Florida's territorial period, named for the South Carolina statesman John C. Calhoun, who was a prominent national political figure at the time of the county's creation.

Located along the Apalachicola River in the Panhandle, the county's early economy depended on timber harvesting and naval stores such as turpentine and pine resin, with river transport carrying goods downstream to Gulf coast ports for shipment.

Blountstown developed as the county seat, and through much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the county remained rural and thinly populated compared with Florida's coastal counties, its economy shaped largely by the surrounding forests and farmland.

Calhoun County's Economy Today

Calhoun County's economy today remains closely tied to forestry, with extensive timberland and pine plantations continuing to support logging, sawmilling, and wood products manufacturing across much of the county's rural landscape.

Agriculture, including row crops and livestock production, along with fishing and other activity connected to the Apalachicola River, continues to contribute to the local economy in meaningful ways for many county residents.

Local government, education, and small retail businesses provide additional employment in a county that remains one of the more rural and sparsely populated in the state, with limited industrial or commercial development compared with much of Florida.
