March 1835 CE

Fort King is reopened.

Former secretary of war John Eaton had been appointed governor of the Territory of Florida in 1834, and in April of that year, the United States Senate had finally ratified the Treaty of Payne's Landing, which had given the Seminoles three years to move west of the Mississippi.

The government interprets the three years as starting in 1832 and expects the Seminoles to move in 1835.
