Welcome
Apalachicola is the County Seat of Franklin County. Once considered the third largest shipping port on the Gulf Coast, this picturesque town offers history and maritime culture to compliment the area's bountiful resoures. Historic Apalachicola has many fine old homes and buildings dating back to the early 1800's.

The Apalachicola Bay and River Estuarine Reserve is the largest in the U.S.. Franklin County's vast expanse of shallow bays produce some of the country's finest seafood and fishing habitat. The County features seven rivers: Apalachicola, Jackson, Brothers, Carrabelle, Crooked, New and Ochlocknee. The Apalachicola River, formed by the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers flowing from Alabama and Georgia, collectively provide nutrient-rich fresh waters vital to Apalachicola Bay's natural productivity and to the production of the world-famous Apalachicola Bay Oysters.
