Calhoun County, County administrative division in Florida Panhandle, United States
Calhoun County spans 574 square miles of land in Northwest Florida, with the Chipola River flowing through its eastern section and forests covering substantial portions.
The county, established in January 1838, bears the name of South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun and initially had its seat in the now-abandoned town of St. Joseph.
The Panhandle Pioneer Settlement preserves 18 historical buildings from the region, displaying the tools and methods Florida settlers used in their daily activities.
The county seat of Blountstown connects to neighboring areas through Florida State Roads 20 and 71, with the nearest interstate access available in adjacent counties.
The M&B Railroad Memorial Park exhibits a Baldwin 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler locomotive from 1911, commemorating the railway that operated until 1972.
