Tocoi is a former settlement along the St. Johns River in St. Johns County, Florida.
Tocoi was the site of a ferry landing and a local rail line to St. Augustine, Florida. The name is said to come from a Native American word for water lily. The Tocoi Creek in the area is a tributary of the St. Johns.[1] A commercial Spanish moss factory was in the area.[1]
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward's 1879 book Sealed Orders features Tocoi and its train station as a setting.[2]
Harriet Beecher Stowe described her arrival in Tocoi and the train journey to Saint Augustine in her book titled 'Palmetto Leaves' in 1873 (in the chapter titled 'St Augustine'). Harriet Beecher Stowe was a 19th-century American writer.
