Gulf Hammock, in Levy County, takes its name from the large wetland at whose edge it lies. It was settled by 1846 where a north-south road crossed the Wekiva Run, at a place first called Walker Landing. After the Civil War, freedmen who had been enslaved on nearby plantations bought land and started farms, and in the 1870s a hunting lodge called the Wingate Hotel stood in the area.
The Otter Creek Lumber Company began operating about 1905, and in 1910 S. J. Gunn bought it with 5,120 acres and opened a crate factory. When the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad came through in 1913, the community moved beside the tracks, and in 1916 a post office called Gunntown opened. In 1926 patent medicine maker Edwin Wiley Grove and the brothers James and William Dowling bought the factory, the whole community and 132,000 acres of timber, formed the Grove-Dowling Hardwood Company and renamed the post office Gulf Hammock. Grove died in 1927, and the company went into receivership on March 3, 1930. The Robinson Land and Lumber Company of Alabama took over, renamed Paterson-McInnis Lumber, or Pat-Mac, in 1937, and its sawmill burned in 1956. A 1915 Vulcan steam locomotive used in the logging is displayed at a wayside park established in 1969.
