| History: | As early as 500 BC, the river was home to the Tequesta Indians who camped along its shore. In 1841, it was named Big Snake Creek and was part of the route used by Federal troops in the Second Seminole War to travel south from Loxahatchee. The river once linked the Everglades with Biscayne Bay. An Indian trading post was established at what is now Greynolds Park. In 1922, Big Snake Creek was renamed the Oleta River by developers. |
