The Forbes Purchase is the name given to a large tract of land obtained in colonial Spanish Florida. In 1804, a company owning a series of trading posts settled a large debt owed by the local Seminole and Creek Indians to their stores by exchanging the debts for a parcel of land of over 1 million acres. The firm was owned by men named Panton, Leslie, and Forbes, thus the name Forbes Purchase.
It took a long and protracted legal fight to finally secure title to the lands, with the US Supreme Court finally ruling the owners claim on the land as valid and confirming the boundaries of said land in 1841.
This land encompasses all or part of Florida Counties known today as Franklin, Wakulla, Liberty, Gadsden, and Leon.
