beginning of the historic period in south Florida is marked by Juan
Ponce de León's first contact with native people in 1513. Europeans
found a thriving native population, which they categorized into
separate tribes: the Mayaimi in the Lake Okeechobee Basin and the
Jaega and Ais people in the East Okeechobee area and on the east coast
north of the Tequesta. When the Spanish arrived, there were perhaps
about 20,000 Native Americans in south Florida. By 1763, when the
English gained control of Florida, the native peoples had all but been
wiped out through war, enslavement, or European diseases.
