"Cattlemen are often asked about the name Cracker Day. Cracker Day is derived from the nickname of “crackers” given to early cowboys because of the sound made by their whips cracking in the air as they herded cattle. Because lariats and lassos didn’t work in the thick underbrush to herd the cattle, they used whips not to strike the cattle but to make a popping or “cracking” sound similar to a rifle shot. These cracking whips would get the cattle moving and could be heard over very long distances. When early settlers heard the sound, they would say, “Here come the crackers.” The name has stuck and the term “Florida Cracker” is still used today to describe native born Floridians." ...Pat Cody Events done at a Cracker...
