Aboriginal History

"Native people hunted and gathered here for thousands of years, leaving behind spear points that date from 7000 BCE to 900 CE."[4] The most recent aboriginal tribe to occupy the land that encompasses the Brooker Creek Preserve was the Tocobaga tribe. The Tocobaga declined in the 17th century and became extinct in the 18th century due to disease and violence.[5]
