Jefferson County is a county located in the Big Bend region in the northern part of the U.S. state of Florida. As of the 2020 census, the population was 14,510. Its county seat is Monticello. Jefferson County is part of the Tallahassee, FL Metropolitan Statistical Area but is the 3rd most rural county in Florida. There are no traffic signals within the entire county. During the plantation era, Jefferson County was the wealthiest per-capita county in the Florida territory.

History

In the mid to late 18th century, a group of Native Americans from Chiaha chiefdom settled in what is now Jefferson County. This group would eventually become an element of the Mikasuki speaking Seminole.

Jefferson County was created in 1827 from eastern Leon County. It was named for Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, who had died the year before the county's establishment.

Forts of Jefferson County

  • Fort Roger Jones (1839), Aucilla (Ocilla Ferry), north of US 90.
  • Fort Noel (1839–1842), south of Lamont on the Aucilla River, six miles (9.7 km) northwest of Fort Pleasant in Taylor County. Also known as Fort Number Three (M).
  • Camp Carter (1838), near Waukeenah.
  • Fort Welaunee (1838), a settlers' fort on the Welaunee Plantation near Wacissa. Fort Gamble (1839–1843) was later established here.
  • Fort Aucilla (1843), two miles (3.2 km) south-east of Fort Gamble, southwest of Lamont, between the Aucilla and Wacissa Rivers. Also spelled Ocilla.
  • Fort Wacissa (1838), a settlers' fort located south of Wacissa on the Wacissa River, west of Cabbage Grove.

American Civil War and Emancipation

In the two decades leading up to the American Civil War, cotton was the primary source of income in the county, with about seventeen percent of all Florida cotton being grown in Jefferson County. It was also the county with the second most large plantations (fifty-five plantations with thirty or more slaves) in Florida, behind only Leon County. In 1860, the county had a population of 9,876 with sixty-four percent being black. Following emancipation, the black population of Jefferson County continued to grow. By 1870 the population had risen to 13,968 with seventy-two percent black. To serve the relatively large black population in the county, the Freedmen's Bureau established an office in Monticello sometime around early 1866.

Post War

A fire destroyed most of the downtown wooden buildings in 1875, which were replaced by brick structures. Those that survived included the First Presbyterian Church and the Monticello News Building, the current home of Jefferson County’s newspapers. The Family Friend originated in February 1859. The Monticello News followed in 1909 and the Jefferson County Journal began publishing in July 2007.

Train service for passengers began in 1888, and tourists resulted in the St. Elmo hotel construction and the Perkins block which included a mercantile shop and general store on the first floor and a theater on the second. For two to six bits, guests could listen to live music, view a dramatic presentation or watch a circus. When passenger service ended in 1927, the tourism industry declined, as did the county population. The opera house slowed, then closed.

Jefferson Academy was established in 1852. The school building is referred to as the first built with bricks in Florida. Following the academy's closure, the building became Jefferson County High School. In 1890, Jefferson County operated 65 public schools including 30 white and 35 black which were segregated until 1965. The original Howard Academy was a black school that operated from 1936-1960 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Tung Oil

Tung tree leaf and fruit

Vernicia fordii (common name Tung Tree) is native to southern Asia but was introduced to US Gulf states in 1905. Tung oil is rendered from the seeds and used as a wood finish or an ingredient in varnish. During the 1950s, Jefferson County had more than 12,000 acres (4,900 ha) of tung trees and was the largest producer of tung oil in Florida and central to that industry in the state. Infrastructure for this major agricultural commodity included:

  • Located in Capps, the Tungston Plantation was a 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) farm that functioned as a town with approximately 8,000 acres (3,200 ha) of tung trees, storage tanks, a processing facility and an airstrip.
  • Several mills were dedicated to oil extraction. The General Tung mill was located in Lamont and the Jumpy Run mill was in Monticello.
  • Homer Formby, a Florida antiques dealer, opened his first store in the Monticello Opera House, using the local tung oil to develop Formby's Furniture Refinisher among a line of furniture restoration products. Formby made millions and his business was eventually sold to Sherwin-Williams who discontinued it in 2022.

Freezes, hurricanes, synthetic chemical alternatives and foreign competition ended the tung oil industry in Florida between 1960 and the 1970s.

Dog racing

The Jefferson County Kennel Club (JCKC) was a greyhound racing venue established in 1958 and closed in 2014. It was the only dog track in north Florida between Jacksonville and Pensacola. The facility employed almost 300 local residents and made a significant contribution to the county's economy. A poker room was added in 2003 featuring Texas hold 'em and the track became a Racino. The cards became more profitable than dog racing, which ended in 2011.

Geography

Entering Jefferson County on US 19 from Thomas County, Georgia

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 637 square miles (1,650 km2), of which 598 square miles (1,550 km2) is land and 38 square miles (98 km2) (6.0%) is water.

Jefferson County is called the keystone county because it is the only county in Florida which borders both the state of Georgia and the Gulf of Mexico. It is also one of only five counties extending from the northern border of the state to the Gulf of Mexico. The other four are the four westernmost counties in Florida, which from west to east are Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties, which all border Alabama.

The eastern border with Madison County is the Aucilla River. The start of the Wacissa River in the county's southeast is Wacissa Springs. The county extends across the Cody Scarp. The Woodville Karst Plain south of Monticello extends to the Gulf and contains numerous sinkholes and springs. The northwestern border with Leon County is the Red Hills Region of Tallahassee with rolling hills of red sand clay. Lake Miccosukee is a large, swampy prairie lake in northern part of the county.

Government and politics

Jefferson County, like most counties in the Florida Panhandle, historically voted for Democratic candidates. However, while most counties in the Panhandle started reliably voting for Republican candidates, Jefferson County has divided its support among Democratic and Republican candidates. From 2000 to 2012, while Democratic candidates for President won the county, the margin dwindled over time; in 2016, the county voted for Donald Trump, the first time that it had voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. In 2020, Trump expanded his margin of victory. Jefferson County consistently backed Democratic candidates in statewide races, but in 2018, Ron DeSantis became the first Republican gubernatorial nominee to win Jefferson County since 1884. Donald Trump again increased his margin in 2024, winning the highest percentage of the vote for a Republican presidential candidate since Nixon in 1972.

Railroads

The sole existing railroad line is a CSX line once owned by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad that was used by Amtrak's Sunset Limited until 2005, when the service was truncated to New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. No Amtrak trains stopped anywhere in Jefferson County.

Major highways

  • I-10 (Interstate 10 / SR 8) is the main west-to-east interstate highway in the county, and serves as the unofficial dividing line between northern and southern Jefferson County. It contains three interchanges within the county; the first being SR 59 in Lloyd (Exit 217), the second at US 19 in Drifton (Exit 225), and the third south of Aucilla at CR 257 (Exit 233). Beyond this point I-10 runs through Madison County.
  • US 19 (SR 57) is the westernmost north-south US highway in the county. It enters from southwestern Madison County as the Georgia-Florida Parkway in a concurrency with US 27, then breaks away from US 27 in Capps to run straight north through Monticello where it encounters a traffic circle with US 90 around the historic Monticello Courthouse. North of the city it runs through the State of Georgia.
  • US 27 (SR 20) is another north-south US highway in the county. It enters from Madison County in a concurrency with US 19, but unlike US 19 breaks away at Capps and runs west toward Tallahassee.
  • SR 59 is the westernmost north–south highway in Jefferson County and is the only roadway connection between U.S. 90 (at its intersection in Leon County) to the southernmost east–west route through Jefferson County, U.S. Route 98.
  • US 90 (SR 10) was the main west-to-east highway in the county, until it was surpassed by I-10. It enters the county from Leon County twice, the second time from a causeway over the southern end of Lake Miccosukee, and eventually enters Monticello in a traffic circle with US 19. East of the city, it curves southeast through rural Jefferson County, then passes north of Aucilla before crossing the Madison County Line at a bridge over the Aucilla River.
  • US 98 (SR 30) is the southernmost east–west route running through the Conservation Areas of the Gulf of Mexico from Wakulla to Taylor Counties. The sole major intersection is with SR 59.
  • US 221 (SR 55) is the easternmost US highway in the county, running south and north through the northeastern portion of Jefferson County, including Ashville before crossing the Georgia State Line.
  • CR 259 is a west-east two-lane road known as the Waukeenah Highway in the county that runs from the Leon County line through Wacissa and terminates at US 19 south of the Monticello city limits.
