Where Did Fastest Growing Town In America, Freeport Florida, Get It's Name?

From 2000 to 2010 Freeport Florida grew at 50.2% from 2010 to 2020 the estimated growth is 56.9%. We searched for the origins of the town name and never could find a definite answer. It has had 3 names; Genoa, Four Mile Landing, and Finally Freeport.
Today on 30A Misfits OFFROAD, we visit Freeport. We start our day with an incredible cinnamon roll, check out a beautiful creek, indulge our inner child after hunting for some local history, have lunch at a local favorite, wander through a picker's paradise, have some dessert at one of the newer businesses in Freeport, and end our day making a feathered friend on the bay.

I (Erica) am originally from North Central Florida, and David is from North Central Kansas. We met on 30A Florida and fell in love. The 30A name comes from a road in South Walton County (County Road 30A) that spans roughly 20 miles along the Florida Panhandle coastline. It can be found in the stretch between Destin and Panama City Beach. We got married at Camp Helen State Park in Inlet Beach, and live in Seagrove Beach on 30A, where David has resided for 14 years and we’ve resided together for 5 years. We wanted to start a CZcams Channel that would better reflect the interactions we have with the businesses and people living on 30A year round. Most videos are from real estate agents talking about the thousands of incredible multi-million dollar homes here, and the lifestyle that comes along with #beachlife. We started the 30A Misfits travelvlog to share our “real-life” experiences with locals and tourists on the Emerald Coast, and specifically 30A locals, and the millions of people that vacation on 30A in Florida every year.
In the 30A area, you'll find the beach communities of Dune Allen Beach, Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, Seagrove Beach, WaterSound, Alys Beach, Seacrest, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach.
