- Alachua County -
When created by the Florida territorial legislature in 1824 Alachua county stretched south from the border with Georgia to Charlotte Harbor. The first
county seat was Wanton's (later Micanopy) and moved to Newmansville in 1828. The current county seat, and largest city, is Gainsville. In 1832 the northern portion of
the county was taken off to create Columbia County. In 1834 Hillsborough County was created from a portion of Alachua County, but the part south of the Santa Fe River
was returned in 1839. A portion south of the Withlacoochee River was taken in 1843 to form Hernando County. Alachua county was further reduced to form Marion County
(1844) and Levy County (1846).
