Lithia, southeast of Tampa, was home to Native peoples including the Tocobaga and later the Seminole before settlers arrived from Georgia in 1847. In 1848 James Alderman settled in the dense forest and cut down the steep banks of the Alafia River so horses and wagons could ford it; by the Civil War his cattle operation numbered about 30,000 head. Alderman's Ford became a gathering place for picnics by 1888 and for political rallies from 1902, and for more than half a century the county Democratic Party opened its campaigns there.
Nearby stood Fort Alafia, a stockade built in 1849 during the Indian wars and garrisoned in June 1850 by Lieutenant Irvin McDowell, later the Union commander at the Battle of Bull Run; a community and post office were established there in 1855. Around 1900 lithium was found in the water of a spring, now Lithia Springs Major, giving the community its name. Lithia is also the closest community to the launch site Jules Verne gave in his 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon.
