The park was established in 1988, and covers 46,000 acres (186.16 km²). Critical wetland habitats are protected within the Preserve, which contains more than 300 privately held pieces of land. The Fort Caroline National Memorial is located in the Timucuan Preserve, as is the Kingsley Plantation. The Preserve is maintained through cooperation by the National Park Service, the Florida Parks Service and the City of Jacksonville Department of Parks and Recreation, and is named for the Timucua Indians who once lived throughout northern Florida.
