  • In the South, never judge a town name by the way it's spelled. These town names in Florida are no exception.

      Seminoles are not very native(to Florida) actually. They were made up of remnants from other tribes outside Florida. Most of the actual Florida tribes were wiped out of existence or moved elsewhere. The Seminoles formed in the 1700's and tried claim all the territory in Florida that had been vacated. Most of the place names actually come from those earlier tribes...like Ocala which is named after a Timucua group that lived in that area.

    You should really do a video on town names in South Carolina, like: Coosawatchie, Daufuskie Island, Alcolu, Ashepoo, Dongola, Walhalla Elgin, and my hometown Lugoff. I get a kick out of people trying to pronounce my hometown. 99% of they time they say it wrong.
