Dixie County is located in the great state of Florida, specifically in the north-central portion of the state. It was officially established on April 25, 1921, and was named after the colloquial term for Southern states, "Dixie." The county was created from a portion of Lafayette County, and its first county seat was in the town of Cross City, which remains the county seat today. The history of the area dates back to the indigenous peoples who inhabited the region, primarily the Timucua and later the Seminole tribes.
European exploration of the area began in the early 16th century, following the expeditions of the Spanish explorer Panfilo de Narvaez and then later, Hernando de Soto. The area was subsequently claimed by the Spanish, before being ceded to the United States as part of the Adams-Ons Treaty in 1819. After Florida became a state in 1845, the region was slowly settled by European-Americans, and eventually incorporated as Dixie County.
One fun fact about this region is that it is home to the Dixie Mainline, an old logging road that was converted into a scenic drive, which takes visitors through lush forests, wetlands, and along the historic Steinhatchee River. This picturesque drive offers a unique glimpse into the area's natural beauty and historical past.
