Columbia County is Florida's 16th county, established on February 4, 1832, from a segment of St. Johns County. It was named in honor of Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America. Lake City, named after the abundance of lakes in the area, is the county seat. An earlier name of the city was Alligator, after Halpatter Tustenugee, an Indian chief known as the "alligator warrior."
