@Quincy - tobacco and Coke Cola

This town in Gadsden County was established in 1828, named for our sixth president, John Quincy Adams. In its early years Quincy became very prosperous due to a booming tobacco industry. Just 20 minutes west of Tallahassee, the Old Florida city of Quincy surprises visitors with its array of Victorian homes in the quaint downtown district. (Quincy's downtown square, built around the Gadsden County Courthouse, an old-time drugstore and many other touches of the Florida that once was and, in places like Quincy).

Quincy was not a real draw for us based on research about the town. We have visitied several times and were able to capture different subjects and learn about the town. Our ptimary 'draw' was to be sure we capture another 'ten oldest towns in Florida'. It's history begins with the tobacco industry and worked well up to the 1970's. Then they turned their income options to farming - mushrooms, tomaotes, and more. Today, the town is attempting to rebuild and draw businesses.
