SERVPRO Helps Restore Fort Walton Beach Properties Affected by Fires

The small city of Fort Walton Beach, located in the Florida panhandle, is known for its magnificent views and especially the white sandy beaches on the nearby Okaloosa Island. It is a year-round beach resort and fishing community. Each summer, there is the seasonal migration of people boosting the local economy.

The area has a history of settlement stretching back to prehistoric times and especially the native American culture referred to as Fort Walton Culture by archeologists that flourished in the period around 1200 - 1500. The culture was famous for intensive agricultural practices such as maize production and mound-building for ceremonies. In the more recent historical periods, various people settled in the area. The first settlers from Europe arrived in the area in the early 1800s. One of the most notable among these settlers was John Anderson, who obtained plots in 1838. The area was even referred to as Anderson before it was changed to Camp Walton around 1911.
