Welcome to Homosassa and Homosassa Springs, Florida
Sometimes referred to as "Old Homosassa" because of its long and colorful history, Homosassa is located at the southern end of Citrus County.

Homosassa is steeped in history, from the ancient Native Americans to the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto to the more recent Yulee family that owned the Yulee Sugarmill, which supplied molasses, syrup and sugar to the southern troops during the Civil War. Remains of the old Sugar Mill still exist today.

Many famous people have either visited Homosassa or called it home including Babe Ruth & "Dazzy" Vance, Winslow Homer and President Grover Cleavland.

Homosassa has Wildlife
Homosassa is now famous for fishing and tourism. Many commercial fishing companies operate here and the fishing is world-class.

One of the most well known attractions is the Homosassa State Wildlife Park with many native Florida animals on display in a safari-like zoo area including the world-famous fish bowl.

You descend down stairs underwater into literally a giant fish bowl, only the water is on the outside. The result is a spectacular “Jewels Vern” underwater view of the abundant fish.

But it is really the Florida Manatee, the gentle giants of the waterways that visitors come to see.

Within the Wildlife Park the manatees permanently inhabit the warm, spring-fed estuaries of the Homosassa River.

The surrounding area is much as it has appeared for hundreds of years.
