Bruce is in Walton County, Florida; it is on the Emerald Coast in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of the state. If you’ve seen the area from a distance, you understand why “emerald coast” is a perfect description. Bruce is part of the Crestview–Fort Walton Beach–Destin Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Between 1763 and 1783, British colonists settled in what is now Walton County. They were the first English speakers to settle in this area. The colonists did not retain their loyalty to the crown; George Walton, Sr. was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Settlers named their new home after his son, Colonel George Walton, Jr., the secretary of the Florida Territory from 1821 to 1826.
Scottish-background settlers came to Walton from North Carolina; the “Scottish” part is relevant because “Bruce” was originally a Scottish surname that transformed into a Norman French given name. “Robert” and “Bruce” are related names; hence “Robert the Bruce” is a hearkening to the king’s nickname, not a description or a title.
