Sabacola

rdf:langString Sabacola

rdf:langString Sabacola (or Sowalki) was a Native American town and chiefdom in what is now the Southeastern United States of America during the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. Usually regarded as belonging to the Apalachicola people, Sabacola had poorly understood connections to the Apalachee people. Although usually described as speaking the Hitchiti language, at least one source stated that the Sabacola spoke another, unidentified language. The town moved to several locations along the Chattahoochee River, sometimes with more than one town including Sabacola in its name at the same time. The town of Sabacola moved to the Ocmulgee River area of central Georgia for about 25 years, before returning to the Chattahoochee River. Sabacola was the only Apalachicola town to have a mission established by the Spanish. The Apalachicola towns, including Sabacola, evolved into the Lower Towns of the Muscogee Confederacy (called the Lower Creeks by the English).
