Wouln’t be surprised if they found Pensacola Energy gas lines running through the property.

Looks looks like a good deal for Century.

Robert S, If that were so, that means they thought they were cheating the Europeans who paid them for the land. Regardless, if any thought that way, others did not see it so and were willing to kill to keep outsiders out, just as some were willing to kill to take it from those living there. Non ownership only works at all for warring nomads. Many stayed in the same place for centuries. Nomads used up the game and other food and moved on, poor stewardship.

Some friends of mine tried to buy some land in Century years ago and there were two neighbor’s homes on the land (NOT that they knew to be)… GPS has changed they way we do things. Remember the Blackwater state park fiasco?

Does anyone know how that turned out?

Honest mistake. The school board is making a great jesture in asking for just a dollar for the property.

When the Escambia Co School Board transfers the property to the Town of Century won’t the town then own all of the ballparks.?
If so, no harm, no foul.

Many areas of this county, state and nation where property lines may be uncertain and not discovered until the property is sold or transferred.

Thanks to the school board for the gift to Century for the ballparks.
Now, all will be “owned” by the same entity.

I seem to recall that our American Natives believed that man could not own the land, that it belonged to the Spirits.

I thought the town knew.
