History
[edit]During the first Spanish period, Pablo Road connected St. Augustine, Florida with the St. Johns River near where Mayport, Florida is now. Spanish fortifications and defenses were erected in the area.[3]
The Treaty of Paris brought British control of Florida. The British referred to the road as the "Road to the St. Johns" or "Road to the Cow Ford".
When the Spanish regained East Florida the area was subject to land grants.
