Before Gulfport was Gulfport it was home to the native Tocobaga and then the Spaniards. Later it was Disston City, named after Hamilton Disston, famous for his desire to drain Florida. Then it was Veteran City, a come-on to Civil War fighters who might want to look at the water and eat smoked fish before going on to Eternity. By the time Gulfport became Gulfport, in 1910, Charlie Williams' kinfolk were already fishing here. 		1139
