Wannee

Wannee is a small community on the east bank of the Suwannee River. It is located about half way between Fanning Springs and Rock Bluff.

Wannee is one of the earliest known (and documented) settlements on the river. Sun Springs is nearby, and supplied fresh water to indigenous people. I have personally observed chert in the limestone on the bank of the river at Wannee.

Wannee is also a stem word for Suwannee. This is important, although exactly why is unclear,
