In 1559, Tristan de Luna arrived in Pensacola Bay with 500 Spanish
soldiers. The first settlement was abandoned due to diseases,
disasters and hostile Indians, but other Europeans followed. In the
late 1700's, the British occupied the peninsula and named it Town
Point.
By the early 1930's, bridges between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze and
Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Beach were completed as was Highway 98.
Gulf Breeze's namesake was established in 1936 when the Gulf Breeze
Cottages and Store opened a post office branch where Live Oaks Plaza
now stands.
The Naval Live Oaks Reservation was the home of America!s first
experimental tree farm, established by President John Quincy Adams
in 1828. It was established to provide raw material to support
shipbuilding for the Navy in the area. Today, Naval Live Oaks is
part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a unit of the National
