ABOUT THE TOWN OF HOMOSASSA, FLORIDA
Seventy percent of Homosassa’s citizens are aged 45 or over, contributing to a median age of 58. Considering that the median age for Citrus County is 53 and that the median age for Florida is 39, it is clear that Homosassa is an “older” community. Age is the most important dimension of population in that it relates to service needs. The older composition of Old Homosassa is one reason for the goals of pedestrian connectivity and local community facilities being identified in “visioning” meetings. Homosassa’s recent population growth rate is smaller than that of Citrus County and Florida. This smaller growth rate is largely responsible for the retention of Old Homosassa’s character. It is anticipated that the future sewer lines, projected to be installed by 2004, and the nearby availability of the Suncoast Parkway is already bringing increased population growth to the area.
• Population as of April 1, 2010: 13,791 (United States Census Bureau)
• Area: According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 8.3 square miles (21.5 km2), of which 7.8 square miles (20.1 km2) is land and 0.54 square miles (1.4 km2), or 6.30%, is water.

Brief History of Homosassa:
Old Homosassa is an area rich in history. Its varied habitat and natural features, combined
With a history of different cultures has made Old Homosassa the unique community it is today.
The first inhabitants were Native Americans. Archeological research indicates that Citrus County
Was occupied by pre-historic aboriginal people for 12,000 years prior to the arrival of Spanish
explorers.
Although Hernando De Soto explored the area in the 16th century, it was the passage of the
Armed Occupation Act of 1842 that spurred development. The act stated that a 200,000-acre
area south of present-day Gainesville was open for settlement. This law stipulated that one
hundred and sixty acres would be given to any head of family or single man over eighteen who was
able to bear arms, could live on the land in a house fit for habitation during five consecutive years
and cultivate at least five acres.
William Cooley took advantage of this opportunity offered by the Federal government. Cooley and
his neighbors found the Act’s incentives appealing and submitted numerous applications to settle
the land. As a landowner, merchant, pioneer, shipper of red cedar and the area’s first Justice of the
Peace, Cooley played a prominent role in the settlement of Homosassa. Attractions:
On Florida's Gulf Coast, near the southern end of what we call the Big Bend, Homosassa serves as home to several state parks including Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, where you can view manatees from an underwater observatory. At the Yulee Sugar Mill State Park in Homosassa, you can visit a sugar mill used to supply troops during the Civil War. In the nearby Citrus County seat of Inverness, don’t miss the historic county courthouse, now more than 100 years old. It recently underwent a complete restoration and continues to look wonderful today.

Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park
This site was once part of a thriving sugar plantation owned by David Levy Yulee. Yulee was a member of the Territorial Legislative Council, and served in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate after Florida statehood. The most imposing feature of the plantation was the sugar mill, located near the Homosassa River. The mill operated for 13 years producing sugar, syrup and molasses which were used to make rum. The mill was abandoned during the Civil War and Yulee's plantation home, located down the river, was burned. The plantation and mill never recovered from the war. The park still contains the remnants of the once-thriving 5,100-acre sugar plantation: a forty-foot limestone masonry chimney, iron gears and a cane press. The steam-driven mill operated from 1851 to 1864 and served as a supplier of sugar products for southern troops during the Civil War.
The park is located in the small town of Homosassa, which is located about 3 miles west of the city of Homosassa Springs. The site offers a picnic pavilion, restrooms facilities, tables for picnicking and grills.
