So why is this answer correct? : The name Tallahassee has been in use since at least the 16th century. It comes from the Apalachee Native American tribe, and is usually translated as “old fields” or “old town,” although some translate it as “sun town.” Its first use among Europeans was on a British map from 1767, which referred to a village on the west side of Lake Jackson as “Tallahassa.”
