The area known as
Flagler County has lived under many flags
We live in an area rich in history.
What is designated as Flagler County today is one of the oldest settled
areas in the United States. Much work has been accomplished by local
historians, groups, and writers to document the rich background of where
we live.
Flagler County has a remarkable selection of preserved historical sites
and places to visit.
Here are just a few of the Internet links to available information.
Flagler County Memories Project
By the close of the Second Seminole War in 1842, Flagler County was
virtually uninhabited. Almost all current residents of the County, or
their forbearers, arrived here after that era. We represent a diverse
cross section of ethnic and racial origins. We came from many places and
for our own reasons; many were looking for the “good life” promised by
land developers. What we brought to the experience, what we found here and
how we adapted create our own personal life stories.
The staff of the Flagler County Public Library and members of the Friends
of the Library began an oral history project in 200l as an effort to
preserve samples of these memories and relevant images for the future.
This collection of oral life histories seeks to sample the common themes and
unique stories of selected local residents. The compact disk/ digital
format was selected as the best available method for recording the
materials. There was no intent to create a history of the county or any of
its cities, towns and settlements, though individual stories often reflect
those of the area.
