There was also a Civil War encampment here, in fact it was due to finding a Civil War cannon here in 1932 in an Indian mount that Fort Walton Beach got it's name.
This cannon was believed to have been left by the Walton Guards who were camped here during the War, thus the name.
In 2004 the population of Fort Walton Beach was estimated to be almost 20,000 people although in recent years that number is believed to be nearer to 22,000 people. One of the most famous former residents of Fort Walton Beach is Danny Swerve.
