The Florida Historic Trails Association (FHTA) was founded during 1970 for the purpose of developing and sponsoring historic hiking trails for Scouting and other civic youth groups. The founder, Dr. Milledge Murphy, a professor at the University of Florida, had for many years been a scoutmaster and had taken his troop on numerous BSA approved historic trail hikes throughout the southeastern United

States. As the interest in and benefits from such hiking experiences were great, he founded the FHTA and developed Florida's first historic trail, the now famous Ft. Clinch Trail in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Subsequently, seven other BSA approved hikes were developed as was a 100 Mile Honor Hiker recognition program.
