Arapaha (also Arapaja or Harapaha) was a Timucua town on the Alapaha River in the 17th century.
("Arapaha" is presumed to have been changed to "Alapaha" by speakers of one of the Muskogean languages, which lack "r".)
Apapaha, Cachapile and Chamile were located north to northwest of San Augustín de Urihica, well off of the royal road.
The missions at Arapaha, Cachipile, Chamile and Chuaquin were reported to be in Northern Utina Province in 1655, but Arapaha, Cachipile and Chamile were located further from St. Augustine than were the missions of San Pedro y San Pablo de Potohiriba and Santa Elena de Machaba in Yustaga Province, which were themselves further from St. Augustine than were the southerly Northern Utina missions.
The Spanish pressured the chiefs and people of Arapaha, Chamile, Cachipile and Chaquin to move to towns along the royal road.
