Notes:The town of Fort White, named for a former Second Seminole War fort
built nearby in 1837, was founded in 1870 and flourished briefly after the
arrival of the railroad in 1888. Phosphate mining and the growing of citrus
and cotton sparked a boom that before 1900 made Fort White the second largest
city in Columbia County with a population of nearly 2000. The boom collapsed
when severe freezes in the winter of 1896-97 destroyed the local citrus industry.
Phosphate mining ceased by 1910, and the boll weevil ended cotton farming before
World War I. A handful of historic buildings, such as the Old Fort White School
(1915) remain from the town's era of prosperity.
