Frenchtown (Tallahassee)

Frenchtown is a historic African-American neighborhood in Florida, located in the state's capital of Tallahassee. Recognized as the oldest surviving community of its kind in the state, it was established in the aftermath of the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, as freed slaves founded settlements during the Reconstruction era.
