Apalachicola is a beautiful Gulf of Mexico city along the scenic bay of the same name, which is named in honor of the region's historic indigenous residents. The city is known for its historic downtown district, which is home to a number of historic sites connected to former resident Dr. John Gorrie, known for developing the process of cold-air refrigeration in 1850. Charming live theatrical productions are presented throughout the year at the Dixie Theatre, originally opened in 1912.
