Apalachicola, Port town on Florida's Gulf Coast, United States.
Apalachicola sits at the mouth of the Apalachicola River, featuring a historic downtown district with 900 preserved buildings from the 1830s.
The city evolved from a Spanish fort established in 1705 to become the third largest port on the Gulf of Mexico during the 19th century.
The Dixie Theatre, built in 1912 and renovated in the 1990s, presents professional performances throughout the year in this maritime community.
