Surrounded by rivers on three sides and the Georgia state line on the other, Hamilton County forms a cape of its own within the greater peninsula of Florida. First settled around 1825 by Daniel Bell, the rural area has remained true to its roots--agriculture is still the mainstay of the land. The population of the area began very small and gradually grew to almost 12,000 citizens with three main cities in the county: Jasper, Jennings, and White Springs, all of which have seen their heyday as large business-oriented communities. Focusing on the history and heritage of the communities brings forth the memories and traditions of a time long gone, and it is through preservation of those long-lost moments that it is possible to promote cultural growth.
