ʻO ke kahakai poina ʻole ʻo ia ka tagline no Mexico Beach, Florida I kēia lā ʻaʻohe kahakai ʻo Mexico e like me ka hōʻike ʻana o CNN i kēia kakahiaka. He kūlanakauhale ʻo Mexico Beach ma Bay County, Florida, United States. He 1,072 ka heluna kanaka ma ka helu helu 2010. He ʻāpana ia o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Panama City–Lynn Haven. I kēia lā, ua ʻōlelo ke Kiaʻāina ʻo Florida, ʻo Rick Scott, ua komo ka Florida National Guard i ke kahakai ʻo Mexico a loaʻa iā 20 mau kānaka i pakele i ka hopena o ka Hurricane Michael.
Ua pōʻino ke kūlana ma Mexico City, Florida ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka makani i 150 mile i ka wā i pā ai ka Hurricane Michael i kēia kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi. Wahi a ka poʻe heluhelu eTN, ua maikaʻi nā kahakai, ua luku ʻia ke kūlanakauhale, akā ua hoʻohana ʻia kēia kūlanakauhale kahakai liʻiliʻi i kumu hoʻohālike no ka hapa nui o nā media ke ʻimi lākou i nā kiʻi pōʻino. E hōʻike ana ka manawa i ka laha maoli o ka pōʻino no nā kūlanakauhale kahakai o Florida.
Wahi a nā pūnaewele mākaʻikaʻi, ʻaʻole like me nā wahi e hele aʻe i ka hema, ʻike ʻo Mexico Beach i nā hoʻololi pōkole a liʻiliʻi o ke kau. He ʻoluʻolu a maikaʻi nā kauwela a he mālie a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ka hoʻoilo, akā makemake ka hapa nui o nā kamaʻāina i ka puna a me ka hāʻule.
He moʻolelo kupaianaha kēia kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi i kau ʻia ma kāna pūnaewele:
I ka manawa o ka "ʻike" ʻEulopa, ua noho nā Apalachee Indians i ka wahi i kēia lā ʻo Mexico Beach. Ua alakaʻi ka naʻi aupuni Sepania ʻo Pánfilo de Narváez i kahi huakaʻi i loko o ia wahi i ke kauwela o 1528 a ua hoʻouka ʻia e kekahi pūʻali koa ʻoi o Apalachee. I ka hoʻi ʻana o ka poʻe Sepania ma nā muliwai ʻo Wakulla a me St. Ma laila lākou i ka pōloli a i ka ʻai ʻana i ko lākou mau lio, ua hana wikiwiki lākou i nā ʻauwaʻa a holo i New Spain (Mexico).
E hoʻi mai ana ka poʻe Sepania i ka makahiki 1539 me ka huakaʻi o 550 mau koa i alakaʻi ʻia e Hernando de Soto. Ua kokoke ka huakaʻi i ke kahakai ʻo Mexico ma Tallahassee i kēia manawa. E lilo ana ʻo Tallahassee i ke kapikala o Sepania Florida a noho mau a hiki i ke kūʻai ʻia ʻana i ʻEnelani no ke kūʻai ʻana i ka mana o Havana, Cuba. ʻO ka Apalachee, ua hoʻemi ʻia ko lākou heluna kanaka ma muli o ka hakakā ʻana me ka poʻe Sepania a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi i loaʻa ʻole iā lākou ka pale kūlohelohe, ua hoʻopau ʻia.
Ma muli o ke kaua ʻehiku makahiki me Farani a me Sepania, ua loaʻa iā Beretania Nui nā ʻāina Farani a pau ma ka hikina o ka muliwai ʻo Misisipi, a me nā ʻāina i hāʻawi ʻia e ko Farani hoa pili ʻo Sepania. No ka paʻakikī loa o ka hoʻokele ʻana iā Florida ma ke ʻano he hui hoʻokahi, ua māhele ʻo Beretania iā ia i ʻelua mau ʻāina ʻokoʻa: East a me West Florida.
Ua hāʻule ʻo Mexico Beach i loko o ka ʻāina o West Florida, nāna i haku ka wahi i kapa mau ʻia ʻo "Panhandle." E hoʻopaʻapaʻa hou ʻia ka ʻāina i ka wā o ke Kaua Kipi ʻAmelika, a me ka lanakila ʻana o ʻAmelika ma luna o ka poʻe Pelekania, ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka ʻāina i Sepania e like me ka mea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ke Kuikahi o Paris i ka makahiki 1783.
Teritori A me ka Mokuaina
Ua hoʻomau ka poʻe Sepania i ka hana Pelekane o ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka ʻāina ʻo East a me West Florida, akā ua komo koke i loko o kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa palena me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma waena o ka poʻe Sepania a me ʻAmelika, a me ke kaua ma waena o nā aupuni ʻelua a me nā Seminole Indians, ua alakaʻi ʻia iā Florida i ke kālepa ʻana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ka ʻae ʻana i nā koi Sepania ma Texas.
Ua hoʻohui ʻia ʻo Florida Hikina a me West Florida a lilo ʻo Florida i ʻāina ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1822, me Tallahassee kona kapikala. I ka makahiki 1845, lilo ʻo Florida i mokuʻāina 27.
E ʻike liʻiliʻi ka ulu ʻana o ka wahi e hoʻopuni ana i Mexico Beach i nā makahiki he 60 e hiki mai ana. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka US Navy i ka Gulf Coast i ka wā o ke Kaua Kivila, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻĀkau i hoʻouka i kahi hana paʻakai koʻikoʻi e kū kokoke ana i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Panama City i kēia manawa, a ua hoʻouka ʻia kekahi mau hakakā liʻiliʻi ma ia wahi. Hoʻopio ka poʻe holo moku i ka pulupulu a me nā mea kaua koʻikoʻi a me ke kālā i loko o ka wahi ma lalo o ka uhi o ka pō.
World War II
Ua hōʻea ke kaua me Kelemānia mai ke kapakai o Mexico Beach i ke kauwela o 1942. I Iune o ia makahiki, e holo ana ka moku ʻaila Pelekane ʻo Empire Mica mai Baytown, Texas, piha i ka aila a holo i ka East Coast. No ka pale ʻana i nā moku luʻu Kelemania, ua kauoha ʻia nā moku holo ʻole e holo i ke ao a moe haʻahaʻa ma ke awa kokoke loa i ka pō. Ma Port St. Joe, ua ʻike ka poʻe holo moku o ka Empire Mica he ʻoi loa ke kiʻi o kā lākou moku no ke komo ʻana a hoʻomau i ka pō. ʻO ka mea ʻaila ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, i hōʻike ʻia e ka mahina piha e kū pono ana i ka lani maʻemaʻe, he pahuhopu maʻalahi no ka poʻe holo moku U-waʻa ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Ua torpedo ʻia ka moku a piholo i ka hola 1:00 o ka lā 29 o Iune, a ua nalowale he 33 mau luina. I ka pūnāwai a me ke kauwela o ka makahiki 1942, ua holo nā moku-U Kelemania me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻi ʻia ma ke Kaiwa o Mekiko, e hoʻopololei ana i nā moku Allied mai Texas a i Florida. I ka pau ʻana o ke kaua, ua hoʻouna aku ʻo Kelemania i nā moku he 56 i lalo o ke kahawai.
ʻO kekahi moku kaulana i 1942, emi iho ma mua o ʻehā mau mile mai ke kahakai ʻo Mexico Beach. Ua kūkulu mua ʻia ka tramp freighter ʻo Vamar ma ke ʻano he waʻa kiaʻi no ka British Admiralty a ma hope ua komo i ke kukui ma ke ʻano he lālā o ka ʻauwaʻa huakaʻi Antarctic ʻo Admiral Byrd. Ma ke Kaua Honua II, ua lilo ka moku i mea kaulana no ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka mālama kai. Ua haʻalele ka moku mai Port St. Joe me ka ukana o nā lāʻau e holo ana i Cuba. Ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ke kahawai, ua piholo ka moku ma lalo o nā kūlana kānalua. Ua hoʻi maluhia ka poʻe holo moku i uka ma waena o nā lono no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka wā kaua a me nā ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻopalo i ka moku i mea e hoʻopaʻa ai i ka puka i ke awa. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia ke kumu o ka piholo ʻana a ua uhi ʻia ka hanana i ka pohihihi.
Mahope o ke Kaua
ʻElua mau hanana i hoʻoikaika i ka "ʻike" a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o Mexico Beach, e like me ia i kēia lā: ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana o ke Alanui 98 i ka makahiki 1930 a me ke kūkulu ʻana o Tyndall Field ma 1941. Ua hoʻolauna ʻia nā kaukani o nā pūʻali koa Air Corps i nā kahakai keʻokeʻo nani. i ko lakou hele ana ma ke kahua a'o ma ke ala kaua. I ka makahiki 1946, ua kūʻai kekahi pūʻulu o nā mea kālepa kūloko me Gordon Parker, WT McGowan, a me JW Wainright i 1,850 mau ʻeka o ka ʻāina kahakai a hoʻomaka i ka hoʻomohala ʻana.
Ua ulu mālie ʻo Mexico Beach ma nā makahiki 1950 a me 60. I ka makahiki 1955, ua hoʻopau ʻia ke kahawai ʻo Mexico Beach, e hāʻawi ana i ka poʻe waʻa i ke ala wikiwiki, maʻalahi, a palekana hoʻi i ke Kaiwa. I ka makahiki 1967, ua hoʻokomo inoa ʻia ke kūlanakauhale ʻo ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Mexico Beach.
Ua kaulana ʻo Mexico Beach no ka nui o ka lawaiʻa ʻana. ʻO ka lawaiʻa, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kiʻi nui loa o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO ka Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association, e hana pū ana me ka Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission a me ka United States Army Corps of Engineers, ua hoʻokumu ʻoi aku ma mua o 1,000 mau papa ʻaʻa ma kahi maʻalahi o ke kahakai. Ua holomua maikaʻi ka papahana, e huki ana i nā ʻano iʻa he nui a me nā mea ola kai ʻē aʻe i ke kahakai ʻo Mexico a me ka hoʻolilo ʻana ia wahi i wahi i makemake nui ʻia e ka poʻe lawaiʻa.
i keia la
ʻOkoʻa loa i nā kaiāulu kokoke ma ke Kai Kūʻono, ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Mexico Beach i kēia lā e like me nā makahiki i hala. Ua kāohi ʻia ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻoihana. ʻOi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi mile o ke kahakai i pale ʻia mai ka hoʻomohala ʻana, e hāʻawi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona ʻike ʻole o ke kahakai one keʻokeʻo nani a me nā wai emerald Gulf. ʻO nā ʻoihana ʻaʻole i loaʻa wale i nā ʻoihana "mom and pop" kūloko. He moʻolelo kūleʻa ʻo Mexico Beach no ka mālama ʻana.
ʻOiai ke haʻaheo nei ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Mexico Beach i kēia lā i ka heluna kanaka he 1,000 wale nō ka poʻe noho, ua ʻike nā hanauna o nā malihini mai ka honua holoʻokoʻa i kēia kūlanakauhale kahakai mālie, ʻoiaʻiʻo, a pili i ka ʻohana. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka poʻe hoʻomaha hoʻi e hoʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma kā lākou huakaʻi hele i ke one keʻokeʻo o Gulf Coast.
Manaʻo mākou e haʻaheo nā makua kāne hoʻokumu a me nā ʻohana paionia nāna i hoʻolilo i ke kahakai ʻo Mexico i kahi e kū nei i kēia lā i nā hopena hoʻomau o kā lākou hoʻoikaika ʻana a me nā hoʻomanaʻo hauʻoli he nui i hana ʻia ma ʻaneʻi.
