Welcome To
Part of the FLGenWeb Project
Columbia County was
established on February
04, 1832 from a portion of Alachua County, as the fifteenth county in
Florida.
Columbia County was named in the honor of Christopher Columbus. In 1858
Suwannee County was cut from a portion of Columbia County. The County
Seat for Columbia County, is Lake City, Florida. Lake City was once the
location
of a large village established by none other than the famous explorer,
Hernando
DeSoto. The area now known as Lake City, was in the early days known as
Halpata
Telofa, which may have come from the name of a chief
of an Indian Village that was also, at one time, found in the area
known today
as Lake City. The chief's name was Halpatter Tustenuggee, said to mean
"Alligator."
A large portion of the Osceola National Forest is located
in
Columbia County, named after the famous Seminole Indian Chief. In
the
Osceola National Forest is found a two thousand acre natural pond,
known as
Ocean Pond. Ichetucknee Springs State Park is also found in Columbia
County,
near Fort White. It is one of the 17 first magnitude springs found in
the state
of Florida, year round temperature averages about 71 to 74 degrees.
