Kings Road marker: Site Of Cow Ford
This narrow part of the St. Johns River, near a clear, freshwater spring, was a crossing point for Indians and early travelers. The Indian name Wacca Pilatka, meaning "Cow's Crossing", was shortened by the English to Cow ford, and Jacksonville was known by this name for many years. This crossing was used by the English when they made an old Timucuan Indian trail into Kings Road.Collection
