Description: A stylized map depicting the lots in the Lincolnville neighborhood (1885). Excerpt from 1885 birdseye view of St. Augustine, Florida Map Collection, State Library of Florida. When Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, an estimated 672 slaves living in St. Augustine became freedmen at once, and the parcel became known as “liberation lot.” These liberated men and women would become the founders of Lincolnville.
