During the Eighteenth Century European countries established colonies and/or settlements on the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River Valley. The territory of present-day Hancock County was considered at that time to be part of the West Florida Colony. This colony changed hands several times in that era because transfer of land ownership was determined by European wars and the resultant treaties signed by France, England, and Spain. The Mississippi Gulf Coast belonged to England from 1763 to 1783, and Spain owned this colony of West Florida from 1783 to 1803. Meanwhile, the thirteen English colonies on the Atlantic seacoast fought a Revolutionary War from 1776 to 1783, becoming the United States of America with the Second Treaty of Paris in 1783. A key player in this drama was a Spanish general, Bernado de Galvez, who became Governor of Spanish Louisiana in 1777. Yet, Galvez is an omitted hero in American history books.
