History
edit
Prior to European colonization, the Tequesta were the indigenous people of what is now Davie. A few campsites and graves have been found in Davie, the oldest dating back 5,000 to 7,000 years in Pine Island Ridge.[6] After Spanish colonization, many of the Tequesta died and the remaining few either escaped to Havana with the Spanish when Florida became a British colony, or they assimilated into the newly arrived Seminoles in the late 18th century.[7]
Davie was previously known as “Zona”, but within a few years it was given the name “Davie” in gratitude for the school Robert Parsell Davie built and his other contributions.[8]
