Discover Bushnell
Bushnell, the seat of Sumter County, recorded its first non-Native settler in 1870, and five or six families moved there after the post office opened on October 28, 1885. It was named for John W. Bushnell, the chief engineer who brought the railroad to the community.
More about Bushnell
Nearby is Dade Battlefield Historic State Park, where on December 28, 1835, Seminoles ambushed Major Francis Dade's command of about 107 men in the woods, leaving only three survivors, the attack that began the Second Seminole War. Sumter County's seat moved several times, from Adamsville to Sumterville in 1858, to Leesburg in 1868 and back to Sumterville by an 1881 election. After the Sumterville courthouse burned on January 30, 1909, a series of elections followed, and on March 20, 1912, Bushnell was declared the county seat. The city had been incorporated on December 14, 1911. Sources Wikipedia: Bushnell, Florida The Historical Marker Database: Sumterville
