At the time the [[French people|French]] established [[Fort Caroline]], the Potano were at war with the [[Agua Dulce people|Utina]], a chiefdom ruled by Chief Utina or Outina.<ref>Milanich 1999; pp. 55–56.</ref> The French supported the Utina and helped defeat the Potano. After Spain expelled France from Florida, it also supported the Utina. In 1584 the Potano killed a Spanish captain leading an invasion into Potano territory. To punish them, a second Spanish expedition attacked and killed many Potano and drove the rest from their towns. After that attack, the town of Potano was moved to the Fox Pond site near the [[Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park|Devil's Millhopper]] northwest of Gainesville.<ref>Milanich 1995: 175</ref>

In the 1580s Spanish [[Franciscan]] [[Missionary|missionaries]] reached the Potano, first with visits by an [[itinerant minister|itinerant]] missionary. A ''visita'' (a [[Mission (station)|mission]] without a resident missionary) named Apula was established in the town of Potano, but was destroyed in the Spanish raid of 1584 or 1585. A couple of ''visitas'' existed in Potano territory in the 1590s. In 1606 Spanish missionaries established a ''doctrina'' (a mission with one or more resident missionaries), [[Mission San Francisco de Potano|San Francisco de Potano]], in the relocated town of Potano. This was the first ''doctrina'' west of the [[St. Johns River]]. Another ''doctrina'', San Miguel de Potano, and a ''visita'', Santa Ana de Potano, were soon established within a few miles of San Francisco de Potano. Another ''visita'', [[San Buenaventura de Potano]], was established at the former site of the town of Potano in 1607 or 1608 by Fray [[Francisco Pareja]]. The missionaries reported that they had baptized more than 1,000 adult Potanos by 1607. The missions of San Miguel and San Buenaventura disappeared from Spanish records within a few years.

In 1656 the Potano participated in the Timucuan rebellion against the Spanish authorities. The Spanish prevailed after eight months. During the fighting, they had burned most of the Timucuan towns and missions. After the rebellion, the Spanish re-established the Potano missions (San Francisco and Santa Ana). In 1672 the Potano suffered many deaths from an unidentified disease. One colonial estimate figured the population of the Potano at 3,000 in 1650. By 1675, only 160 people were surviving at the two Potano missions.
