The French settlers’ relocation to Frenchtown was driven in large measure by the 1825 Lafayette Land Grant which gave Gilbert du Motier (Marquis de Lafayette), a major-general in the Continental Army under George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, a township in the U.S. of his choice for his help in the war. After the Civil War, Frenchtown became a residential area mainly inhabited by newly emancipated slaves. Throughout the years of segregation, Frenchtown evolved into a self-contained neighborhood that housed flourishing grocery stores, retail facilities, professional service providers, and schools. It engendered a cohesive community and quickly became the focal point of African- American culture in North Florida. In its heyday from 1940 through 1960, Frenchtown became the economic, social and commercial “hub” for blacks in the region.
