Bio

Levy County was formed on March 10, 1845, and became Florida's 27th county. One week earlier on March 3, 1845, Florida joined the Union as the 27th state. The county was named in honor of David Levy Yulee, one of Florida's first two elected US Senators and father of the Florida Railroad. Levy County has a rich history and heritage which is intertwined with the lives of the early pioneers who made the county their home.

We are proud to have acquired the historic brick White Grocery building in Bronson as permanent headquarters. Stop in anytime between 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Saturdays to tour, research, or just chat Levy County history. Located at 397 E. Hathaway Avenue, Bronson, Florida.

For more information, reach out to President Toni Collins at (352) 490-5636, or [email protected].
