Sebastian River Bridge.
I love history you can’t never prove who is right. Good name over the wrong River.
About 20 years back in my profession I study this river history oh’ two years.
Here is why !!! Sebastian Area Chronology:
1605 Capt. Alvero Mexia, a Spanish soldier, was sent from
St. Augustine to the area of the Ais Indians where he made
the first known record of the river we now call St. Sebastian River.
1774 St. Sebastian River recorded on Bernard Romans chart of Florida.
1837 Lt. Powell USN, with a small force of sailors attached to the 1st Reg. of Art. of Sen. Hernandez forces, came on an exploring expedition down Indian River. On the night of Dec. 28 they camped on a high oak bluff on the north bank of the St. Sebastian River. A party went to the headwaters of the St. Sebastian that night hunting for Indians.
1844 U.S. Steamer GENERAL TAYLOR touched at Indian River and
landed a live oak agent, two horses and sundry dogs.
1858 Andrew F. Canova and Ed Marr lived near the mouth of the St. Sebastian River in a palm thatch hut. They hunted, fished and raised onions in a small garden. Canova went to St. Augustine to enlist in the Army (1861). Marr remained here.
1860 Federal Census lists Canova and Marr which are the only names we recognize of persons living in the St. Seb. River area.
And my study concluded that Sebastian river is THE “Eau Gallie river”
There for I dedicated my cache to good name over wrong river.
