History
Jasper is believed to rest on land originally thought to be the site of the Miccosukee (Mikasuki) people, a subtribe of the Seminole nation. The 1823 Treaty of Moultrie bought the Native American lands, and the population was required to move southeast of the Suwannee River. This allowed white settlers to move into the area. A suspected Native burial mound is located at Baisden Swamp, (named after Josiah Baisden,) just on the outskirts of Jasper. Six miles north of Jasper along the Alapaha River an established Native village called Micco Town, or more accurately, Halata-Micco (Hala-at-a-Micco), and named for Chief Billy Bowlegs of the Seminoles, (who may have resided there,) once stood. Chief Bowlegs signed the 1832 Treaty of Paynes Landing at Hola-at-a-Micco, his "X" mark (aka Billy Bowlegs) establishing the type of Native inhabiting the area where artifacts of pottery, fishing spear points, and arrowheads are often found.
