Pensacola is a historical place. The first European colony was founded in Pensacola in 1559 and has been controlled by five countries over its long history. This unique mixture of cultures include the French, Spanish, English, as well as indigenous peoples. With the strong military presence from its beginning as a valuable port, Pensacola has attracted people from around the world and still does.
