'''Carrabelle''' is a city in [[Franklin County, Florida|Franklin County]] along [[Florida]]'s [[Florida Panhandle|Panhandle]], United States. It is located east of [[Apalachicola, Florida|Apalachicola]] at the mouth of the [[Carrabelle River]] on the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. The population was 2,606 as of the 2020 census.

==History==

In 1528, the first [[Spanish Empire|Spanish]] expedition of [[Pánfilo de Narváez]] passed through the area on its way from [[Tampa Bay]] to the [[Rio Grande]]. From the late 17th century through early 18th century, a few passages referring to the area are mentioned. Carrabelle, [[Dog Island (Florida)|Dog Island]], and [[St. George Island (Florida)|St. George Island]] served as points to stage raids on local ports, as well as [[San Marcos de Apalache]] in 1677 and 1682.

In 1876, explorer Nathaniel Holmes Bishop of [[Medford, Massachusetts]], navigated the Crooked River through the lowlands east to the [[Ochlockonee River]]. In 1877, [[Oliver Hudson Kelley]] from [[Massachusetts]] founded the town and named it "'''Rio Carrabella'''", after his niece, [[Caroline A. Hall|Caroline Hall]].<ref name="Carrabelle-City-Hall-History 2015 Jul 5" /> The following year, the first U.S. post office was established with its address as Rio Carrabella. Hall served as the town's first postmaster. The Town of Carrabelle was incorporated on December 24, 1881.

In 1891, the [[Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Georgia Railroad]] was established to connect Carrabelle northward through [[Tallahassee, Florida|Tallahassee]] to the Florida-Georgia line, eventually terminating in [[Augusta, Georgia]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.gulfpirate.com/history.htm |title=Gulf Pirate: History of Carrabelle & Franklin County |access-date=August 10, 2008 |archive-date=September 24, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080924104731/http://www.gulfpirate.com/history.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>

The city was chartered and incorporated by the Florida Legislature in May 1893.

On August 1, 1899, [[1899 Atlantic hurricane season#Hurricane Two|the 2nd hurricane of the season]] struck the area, almost destroying the town and leaving just nine homes.<ref name="NTYs 1899 Aug 5" />

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.

On August 23, 2008, [[Tropical Storm Fay (2008)|Tropical Storm Fay]] made its record fourth landfall in the state of Florida at Carrabelle.

===World's Smallest Police Station===
[[File:Smallpolicecarrabelle.jpg|thumb|The World's Smallest Police Station]]
Carrabelle is the home of the "World's Smallest Police Station",<ref name="CCOC-Police-Station 2002 Oct 18" /> which came into being on March 10, 1963. The city had been having problems with tourists making unauthorized long-distance phone calls on its police phone. The phone was located in a call box that was bolted to a building at the corner of [[U.S. Route 98 in Florida|U.S. 98]] and Tallahassee Street. Johnnie Mirabella, St. Joe Telephone's lone Carrabelle employee at the time, first tried moving the call box to another building, but the illegal calls continued.

Mirabella noticed that the policeman would get drenched while answering phone calls when it was raining. So when the telephone company decided to replace its worn-out phone booth in front of Burda's Pharmacy, he decided to solve both problems at once by putting the police phone in the old booth.

With the help of Curly Messer, who was a deputy sheriff at the time, Mirabella moved the phone booth to its current site on U.S. 98. The booth did protect the officers from the elements, but some people still sneaked into it to make long-distance calls. Eventually the dial was removed from the phone, making it impossible for tourists to make calls.

It has been featured on television shows ''[[Real People (TV program)|Real People]]'', ''[[Ripley's Believe It or Not!]]'', ''[[The Today Show]]'', and ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]''. It was featured in the movie ''Tate's Hell'', which was produced at [[Florida State University]]. Along with police station T-shirts—the design is copyrighted—there are police station hats, visors, postcards, and calendars.

But life has not always been easy for the retired St. Joseph Telephone and Telegraph Company phone booth. Vandals have ripped phones out of the booth and shot holes through the glass. It has been knocked over by a pickup truck, a tourist once asked a gas station attendant to help him load it into his vehicle to take it back to [[Tennessee]], and it was knocked over and damaged by [[Hurricane Kate (1985)|Hurricane Kate]].<ref name="Carrabelle-City-Hall 2015 Jun 25" /> Today a replica still stands on the original spot along US Highway 98 in downtown Carrabelle. The original World's Smallest Police Station is safely housed and on display at the Carrabelle History Museum at 106 SE Avenue B, Carrabelle, FL.
