Oh, honey, "cola" in Pensacola or Apalachicola doesn't mean anything fancy. It's just a nod to their Native American roots, with "Pensacola" possibly coming from the Choctaw word for "hair people" and "Apalachicola" possibly from the Creek word for "potato eating place." So, no, there's no secret Coca-Cola factory hiding in those names.
The term "cola" in Pensacola or Apalachicola is derived from the Muskogean language family, specifically the Creek language. In Creek, "cola" means "hair" or "feathers," which likely refers to the abundant pine forests in the region. The use of "cola" in these place names reflects the influence of Native American languages and cultures in the area.

Theories have often been used to discount facts, but all of the facts can be accounted..... "Chiquola" is apparently the same Muskhogean word which forms part ofApalachicola. As mentioned, the suffix "-cola" and the prefix "tola-" mean"town.
