A member of a Native American people formerly inhabiting the region of northern Florida and southern Georgia.
From Timucua or other indigenous language origins, the name's exact etymology is debated but refers to the historical Apalachee people.
The Apalachee developed a sophisticated agricultural society before European contact, but disease and colonization devastated them—their name survives in Apalachicola and other place names.
