Area Information Carrabelle is a city in Franklin County along Florida's Panhandle. In 2001 the population was 2,778. Carrabelle is located east of Apalachicola at the mouth of the Carrabelle River on the Gulf of Mexico. In 1528, the first Spanish expedition of Pánfilo de Narváez passed through the area on its way from Tampa Bay to the Rio Grande. The City was chartered by the Florida Legislature in 1893. On August 1, 1899, the 2nd hurricane of the season struck the area, almost destroying the town and leaving just nine homes. In 1942, Camp Gordon Johnston was opened for the purpose of training amphibious soldiers on nearby beaches. The camp trained a quarter of a million men and closed in 1946.
