Talk:St. Joseph, Florida

Merge proposal
Opposed. Since the area was unoccuppied for 60 or 70 years between the storm of 1843 and the founding of Port St. Joe (on a different site) in the early 20th century, this article is not part of the history of Port St. Joe. --  Donald Albury ( Talk )  16:00, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Rename?
I'm considering proposing that this article be renamed (moved to) St. Joseph, Florida, with the existing St. Joseph, Florida being renamed (moved to) St. Joseph, Florida (disambiguation). Historically, the subject of this article has been the most prominent place named St. Joseph in Florida. Moreover, the current title of the page is an anachronism. While the site of the former town of St. Joseph is currently in Gulf County, the town was in Franklin County when it was settled, and soon after that, Calhoun County was created to give the town its own county. St. Joseph was the county seat of Calhoun County until the town was abandoned. Calhoun County was later expanded northward, and then the southern part of Calhoun County (more or less coterminous with the original boundaries of the county) was separated as Gulf County.

 * St. Joseph, Gulf County, Florida → St. Joseph, Florida
 * St. Joseph, Florida → St. Joseph, Florida (disambiguation)
 * Support – |St._Joseph,_Pasco_County,_Florida|St._Joseph,_Seminole_County,_Florida pageviews are into the range that signify a PTOPIC imo, and Port St. Joe is clearly different from St. Joseph. Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  04:38, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
