'''Welcome to the History Portal'''. Here you will find links to the categories and articles that explore Pensacola's rich history.
Pensacola is known as '''[[America's First Settlement]]''' for a colony led by [[Tristán de Luna y Arellano]] in [[1559]], which was wiped out by a [[hurricane]]. Previous Native American inhabitants date back to the [[Deptford]] civilization of around 50 BCE. Pensacola was resettled in [[16961698]] and at various times has been under the possession of Spain, France, Britain, the Confederacy and the United States, earning the nickname the '''[[City of Five Flags]]'''.
