It was named for John C. Calhoun, member of the United States Senate from South Carolina and the seventh U.S. vice president, serving under John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson. The County originally was located between St. Joseph Bay and the Apalachicola River, with the county seat at St. Joseph (which was abandoned by 1844). The county was later expanded to the north with territory from Jackson and Washington counties. In 1913 part of Calhoun County was transferred to the new Bay County. In 1925 the southern part of Calhoun County was separated as the new Gulf County, which included the territory that had formed the original Calhoun County. --Wikipedia	John C. Calhoun
