I'm pretty sure a good stretch of the coast from the Apalachicola River to East Baton Rouge Parish were part of something called West Florida at one time. They still call the area north of Lake Pontchartrain the Florida Parishes.

Republic of West Florida, capitol was St. Francisville and it lasted less than 90 days.

For some odd reason LA makes a big deal out of it.
