DeFuniak Springs Wedding

De Funiak Springs is a city in Walton County, Florida, United States. The population was 5,089 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 5,141.[1]

The town was founded by the officers of the Pensacola & Atlantic Railway, a subsidiary of the Louiville & Nashville Railway. The P&A Railway was organized to connect the terminus of the L&N near Pensacola to the Western terminus of the Seaboard Railroad at River Junction--now Chattahoochee--in the decade of 1880. It was named after Frederick De Funiak, the president of the L&N. Like much of northwest Florida, De Funiak Springs was settled mainly by Scots from Virginia and the Carolinas.
