History



Prior to European colonization, the Tequesta were the indigenous people of what is now Davie. A few campsites and graves have been found in Davie, the oldest dating back 5,000 to 7,000 years in Pine Island Ridge. After Spanish colonization, many of the Tequesta died and the remaining few either escaped to Havana with the Spanish when Florida became a British colony, or they assimilated into the newly arrived Seminoles in the late 18th century.
Davie was previously known as “Zona”, but within a few years it was given the name “Davie” in gratitude for the school Robert Parsell Davie built and his other contributions.
