In 1824, the Treaty of Moultrie Creek was signed which provided for a reservation that included this particular space. When settlers moved onto the land in violation of the treaty and when slave hunters trespassed onto the reservation, the Seminoles got angry. And so on December 28, 1835, the Seminoles ambushed Major Francis L. Dade and 107 men here. It became as the Dade Massacre and it was the beginning of the Second Seminole War. Later, Fort Armstrong was built here and used to round up many of the remaining Seminoles who were deported to Oklahoma. Today, it is a historic site and park with picnic pavilions and several markers that point out some of the important areas from that early battle. It was quiet and peaceful on this Saturday morning. Worth exploring and seeing some of that history. [Review 20281 overall - 1783 in Florida - 1258 of 2023.]

There are signs along the road that point out the marker just ahead and there is a small amount of room to pull to the side. The plaque that is cemented to the boulder reads, "During the Second Seminole Indian War (1835-42) a number of military forts were constructed in Florida. These forts served as supply bases and other logistic supports. Near this site was constructed Ft. Armstrong. The fort was constructed in November 1836 by a detatchment of Tennessee Volunteers under the command of Major Robert Armstrong. Also, near this site General Keith Call, in command of some 2500 troops, including a Florida Cavalry unit, a U.S. Artillery Battalion, a group of Tennessee Volunteers and several hundred Creek Indians, who had enlisted in the U.S. Army, encamped on November 20,1836. The following morning, this command moved out to meet a large group of Seminole Indians at the Battle of Wahoo Swamp. This battle was one of the fiercest battles of the war. The U.S. Forces were unsuccessful in destroying the Seminoles, and , as a result, General Call was relieved of his command." The marker was erected in 1982 by the Sumter County Historical Society.
