History
The community was initially settled as Pope's Store from May 15, 1829 to 1837, during the Spanish Florida era to when it eventually became the Florida Territory under American rule. Between 1837 to around the 1870s, it was called Gloucester. It was renamed as Snead's Store from the 1870s to 1883, when its name was changed yet again to Snead's Station, before ultimately being shortened to the Town of Sneads when it was officially incorporated as a municipality on October 26, 1894. It's the fourth largest municipality in Jackson County, following Marianna (the county seat), Graceville and Malone.
