Why this spot
1857-1893 river landing and county seat
A Suwannee River boat landing about nine miles above Branford that served as the Lafayette County seat. Most of it burned after the Civil War, it was rebuilt a quarter mile away as New Troy, and the seat moved to Mayo in 1893 after another courthouse fire.View source →
