Sunset in Carrabelle |
Surprise....Carrabelle's history is as rich as PSJ.
Shortly after the Civil War, an industrious pioneer by the name of Oliver Kelly came to live near the banks of what was known as the Crooked River. Though stories vary, it seems that Kelly must have lost his wife or sweetheart in the war. Her name was Carrie. He named the settlement after his lost love and added the word "belle" to recall her beauty. Thus the name Carrabelle was born.
