DeFuniak Springs Historic District, Historic district in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, US.

The DeFuniak Springs Historic District, designated on August 28, 1992, is bounded by Nelson and Park Avenues and 2nd and 12th Streets. It contains 172 historic buildings and 2 objects, including the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood at 95 Circle Drive, St. Agatha's Episcopal Church at 144 Circle Drive, and a 1900 family residence at 132 Circle Drive.

The district developed from 1882 onward as a resort destination for railroad travelers and took its name from Fred DeFuniak, the chief executive of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. That railroad connection shaped the town's layout and character from the start.

The Florida Chautauqua ran here from 1885 to 1922, drawing thousands of visitors each season. Its 1909 Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood at 95 Circle Drive held an auditorium seating up to 4,000 people until Hurricane Eloise destroyed it in 1975. The hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This location is best explored on foot, with major buildings concentrated between Nelson and Park Avenues and between 2nd and 12th Streets. Historical markers placed throughout the streets help identify the most significant structures.

Florida's first stone memorial to the Confederacy now stands on the courthouse lawn in DeFuniak Springs; it was first erected at Euchee Valley Presbyterian Church before being moved here.
