The location which is now Wakulla was known to have existed by name before the 1900s, but the origins of its establishment are unknown. Though some believe it started as a White community, it is now generally seen as a Native American community. Wakulla has yet to be recognized by the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina as an official Native American township. There is only one other location in the United States with the name Wakulla: Wakulla County, Florida, which has been in existence since March 11, 1843, making it the older of the two.
Luther and Susan L. Oxendine were the first Native American family to own land in Wakulla. They donated this land, partially to help establish Oxendine Elementary School and Cherokee Chapel Holiness Methodist Church.
