The park includes 56archaeological sites, representing various eras from thePaleo-Indian period (10,000 to 12,000 years ago) up to the 20th century.

("San Felasco" derives from theSeminole pronunciation of "San Francisco".[2]) Spain began granting land to individuals in Florida after 1790, including a grant of 6,000 acres (24 km2) to S. D. Fernandez and another grant to a Sanchez in the present-day park. Four of the archaeological sites in the park are possibly associated with those land grants, and/or with the settlement ofSpring Grove, which existed in the 1830s and 1840s.
