The Forbes Purchase is the name given to a large tract of land obtained in colonial Spanish Florida. In 1804, a company owning a series of trading posts settled a large debt owed by the local Seminole and Creek Indians to their stores by exchanging the debts for a parcel of land of over 1 million acres. The firm was owned by men named Panton, Leslie, and Forbes, thus the name Forbes Purchase.
