[edit] History
Mala Compra (Spanish for bad bargain or bad purchase) was originally part of northeastern Florida's largest plantation system. It was worked from 1816 through 1836, when the Seminoles burned it down near the beginning of the Second Seminole War.
The owner was Joseph Martin Hernandez, one of Florida’s first territorial delegates to Congress in 1822 and 1823 and a general during the Second Seminole War.
