NEW SWITZERLAND PLANTATION



Francis Philip Fatio, Sr. (1724-1811) a Swiss

native, brought his family, slaves and personal

possessions here shortly after Spain ceded Florida to

Great Britain in 1763. After obraining a crown grant

of 10,000 acres in this area, Fatio imported materials

from England and built a country estate where he lived

the life of a frontier baron. The plantation

buildings were destroyed during the East Florida

Patriot revolt in 1812.
