Okaloosa County

Once a small pioneer town, Okaloosa County has grown into a modern community composed of beautiful beach vacation spots and a thriving military population. Despite its growth evidence of Okaloosa’s rich past are evident everywhere, from the Native American mound at the Forth Walton Beach Heritage Park and Cultural Center to the warplanes at the Air Force Armament Museum.
