Hernando County, Florida
.Hernando County is located on the west-central coast of Florida and is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Area. It was established on February 27, 1843, and named after Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto, who played a significant role in the European exploration of Florida in the 16th century. Covering an area of 589 square miles, the county has a rich history dating back to the indigenous peoples who inhabited the region.
Before the arrival of Europeans, the area was inhabited by the Timucua and later the Seminole Indians. In the early 1800s, settlers began moving into the region after the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821. Initially, the county mainly consisted of farmland, and agriculture remained the primary economic activity until the mid-20th century.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Hernando County experienced several territorial changes as neighboring counties were carved out of its original land area. In 1850, the county seat was moved from De Soto to Brooksville after a heated election. The arrival of the railway in the late 1800s accelerated the development of agriculture, with oranges and citrus fruits becoming major regional crops. The county also witnessed a period of phosphate mining and development of the lumber industry that contributed to its economic growth.
Today, Hernando County is home to several parks and nature reserves, making it a popular destination for outdoor lovers. The area boasts a diverse range of activities, such as hiking, bird watching, and water sports. A fun fact about Hernando County is the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, which features one of the world's deepest naturally-formed underwater springs. It is also home to the legendary live mermaid show, which has been entertaining visitors since 1947.
