Indians Used to Live here. The best Fishing was (and still is) at the Northeast end of Lake Harney on the St. Johns River. Clams and Mussels
were eaten as well and the shells discarded by the former residents of Geneva created this large "Hill" or "Mound" The King Philips Plaque tells a little more history of the area.

Timucuan Indians lived on the banks of the St. Johns near Geneva. Pottery shards identified by the Central Florida Anthropological Society were
found at King Philips Town/Cooks Ferry dating from 1450-1250 B.C. to A.D. 800-1300. Pottery Shards can still be found in abundance today along the banks of The St John's River.
