Ghost Towns of the St. Johns
” Fort Picolata ”
By Geoff Dobson
Some towns or settlements spring to life due to some local needs, fade becoming a ghost town, and then because of a new need arise from the dead spring into vibrancy, only to once again fade and die.
Such was Fort Picolata which went through the cycle of life and death three times.
Picolata is now remembered only in the name of a road from St. Augustine to State Road 13, yet it has a history going back some 300 years.
