History
Phosphate mining, turpentine and agriculture (cotton and oranges) were the foundation of the economy and the population grew to nearly 2000. The town was incorporated in 1884 and grew steadily following the arrival of the railroad in 1888. Sadly, the boom turned to bust as severe freezes in the winters of 1896 & 1897 destroyed the local citrus industry. The boll weevil ended cotton farming before World War I and the population shrank to a few hundred people, primarily farmers, ranchers and foresters. Due to sickness, flooding along the river and rumors of the railroad coming to the area, the settlement was moved four miles east to its present location.
