Levy County is located in Florida, southwest of Gainesville, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Created in 1845 after the Seminole Wars, it was named for Daniel Levy, a plantation owner, attorney, and politician. Levy constructed the first railroad across Florida; it ran from Fernandina, north of Jacksonville on the Atlantic Ocean, to Cedar Key on the Gulf Coast in Levy County, and was finished in 1861. Cedar Key was a very important shipping port until a railroad reached Tampa in 1886, and ten years later the town was basically wiped out by a hurricane.
The population of Levy County, as of the 2010 census, was 40,801. The total area of the county is 1,413 square miles, with over 20% covered by water. The Suwannee River forms the northwestern border of the county, and the Withlacoochee River lies along the souther border. The county seat is Bronson, located in the northeast region of this largely rural area. Agriculture is important to the economy; farms produce vegetables, peanuts, beef, dairy, and other products. Along the coast, clam farming is an important industry.
Nearly 20% of the county is covered by state and national wildlife areas, including parks, springs, wildlife refuges, and preserves. Popular activities are boating, fishing, diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, hunting, wildlife viewing, and bird watching.
