Apalachicola is a state in the Republic of Florida that existed independently between March 22, 1984 and March 22, 2011, the twenty-seventh anniversary of its establishment by a committee of representatives from area towns in the winter following the destruction of the capital of the former state of Florida. Located along the Apalachicola River in Florida's panhandle, the largest town is the port of Port St. Joe. However, the population of the state lived for decades deep in the wetlands which had been administered as Apalachicola National Forest. Expeditions from North Florida, in fact, completely missed the population of more than 20,000 that had set up camps and eventually settled in along the many streams that feed the River.

abstract
| - Apalachicola is a state in the Republic of Florida that existed independently between March 22, 1984 and March 22, 2011, the twenty-seventh anniversary of its establishment by a committee of representatives from area towns in the winter following the destruction of the capital of the former state of Florida. Located along the Apalachicola River in Florida's panhandle, the largest town is the port of Port St. Joe. However, the population of the state lived for decades deep in the wetlands which had been administered as Apalachicola National Forest. Expeditions from North Florida, in fact, completely missed the population of more than 20,000 that had set up camps and eventually settled in along the many streams that feed the River. By 2010, though, the towns were resettled after years of being abandoned. The ports of Port St. Joe and Apalachicola were reopened and the capital was moved to Apalachicola. The camps and "Hoovervilles" in the swamp have been turned back over to the wildlife there as contact with civilization has been made. The present governor of the state is Van Johnson, while long-time resident of Wewahitchka, Larry Holmes, serves as lieutenant governor.
