The history of Pensacola, Florida begins long before the Spanish claimed founding of the modern city in 1698. The area around present-day Pensacola was inhabited by Native American peoples thousands of years before the historical era. The Panzacola tribe had a well-established culture hundreds of years prior to European encounter, with a ceremonial mound center north of present-day Mobile, Alabama which its people occupied 1250 to 1550.〔''Archaeology of Native North America'', 2010, Dean R. Snow, Prentice-Hall, New York. pp. 248–249〕 The historical era begins with the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century. In 1559 Tristan de Luna established a short-lived settlement at Pensacola Bay; it is considered one of the first European-established settlements in what is now the continental United States but was abandoned.〔"Floripedia: Pensacola, Florida" (history from "The Founding of Pensacola" 1904), University of South Florida, 2005, webpage: (USF-Pensac2 ). 〕 In the late 17th century the Spanish returned to the area to found the modern Pensacola as an outpost from which to defend their claims to Spanish Florida. The city's strategic but isolated position, combined with continued European rivalries played out in North America, led to it changing hands among different Western powers a number of times. At different times it was held by the Spanish, the French, the British, the United States, and the Confederate States of America.〔"Santa Rosa Island - a History (Part 1)" (regional history), Jane Johnson, ''NavarreBeach.org'' webpage: (NBhist ) 〕〔 "The Tristan de Luna Expedition" (history), Steve Pinson, Pensacola Archeology Lab, (DeLuna-PAL ). 〕 Florida returned to United States control. ==Etymology== The city was named after the Panzacola, a tribe that lived across the northern area and near the bay when the Spanish arrived.() This area was first documented as "Panzacola" in 1686, when a maritime expedition, headed by Juan Enríquez Barroto and Antonio Romero, visited Pensacola Bay in February 1686. Barroto and Romero had orders to survey the entire northern Gulf coast from San Marcos de Apalache (near Tallahassee) westward, looking for the new French "lost colony" of Fort St. Louis, which René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle had established at Matagorda Bay in 1685. Their ensign Juan Jordán de Reina recorded in his diary that Native Americans in the region around Pensacola Bay called the area "Panzacola" after the Panzacola Indians. He judged the bay as "the best that I have ever seen in my life."
