Synopsis

Ponte Vedra is well known for its beaches and world renowned for its PGA dream course, Sawgrass, but what did it look like before tourists flocked to the shores? How did Native Americans interact with the area before Spain's Ponce de Leon made his first landfall? How did Spanish rule shape the city? Join author Maurice Robinson on his journey through the hidden pages of Ponte Vedra history. Learn of America's first African fort, the community's first newspapers and the history of the city's unique Vicar's Landing. From pre-colonial beginnings to the development of Nocatee, these stories will show a side of Ponte Vedra rarely seen before.
