Description:
"A Spanish Mission was established near here within sight of the Santa Fe River about A.D. 1606 by Franciscan missionaries. The river took its name from the mission, as did the modern town of Santa Fe. At one time, Santa Fe de Toloca was said to be the principal Timucuan Indian mission in a chain that stretched across the interior of la Florida from St. Augustine on the east coast."
It is located near the town of Bland, FL, which was named after the son of the first postmaster there in 1903.
Could not find the historic marker, but this is given as its approximate location.
