Gadsden County is Florida's 5th county, established on June 4, 1823, from a segment of Jackson County. It gains its name from James Gadsden (1788-1858), an aide-de-camp to General Andrew Jackson during his 1818 campaign in Florida. He later (1853) gained national fame for negotiating a large amount of land from Mexico in what became known as the Gadsden purchase. Quincy is the county seat. Quincy was named after John Quincy Adams, who was then Secretary of State and later became sixth President of the United States.
