Homosassa, in Citrus County, takes its name from a Seminole word thought to mean "river of fishes" or "pepper ridge." On the Homosassa River, David Levy Yulee established a 5,000-acre sugar plantation worked by about 1,000 enslaved people. Yulee, Florida's first U.S. senator and builder of its first cross-state railroad, was an absentee owner who spent most of his time at Fernandina.
The plantation grew sugarcane, cotton and citrus, and the Yulee groves were among the first in Florida to grow sweet oranges budded on sour orange stock. Its steam-driven mill produced sugar, syrup and molasses; sources date its start to 1849 or 1851. During the Civil War it supplied the Confederacy, and Union raiders burned Yulee's home on May 29, 1864, though the mill escaped. After the war Yulee was imprisoned, the enslaved workers were freed and the site was abandoned. Its remains are preserved in the Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park, and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, home to manatees, is nearby.
