Jackson. St Andrew's Bay The St. Andrew Bay area was home to many Indians before it was settled as a community in the 1800s. Pirates found the deep pockets of the Bay ideal to “lie in wait” for richly laden ships in route to Mexico or Spain. Legend has it that many a pirate buried his share of treasure at Spanish Shanty Point on Shell Island http://www.guidebookamerica.com/gb/fl/panama_city_beach/ Jackson was the first (white) American to survey St. Andrews Bay, and his army spent considerable time here. Many of his soldiers and officers returned to the area to settle when the territory opened for settlement in 1821. Relocating the Indians became an argument that plagued the area until Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 http://www.tripsmarter.com/panamacity/history/history2.htm Beach photograph: http://www.pcbgov.com/ Aug 13 04, 4:45 AM
