Marion County

In 1539 Spanish explorers under Hernando de Soto discovered in this vicinity a populous native country called Ocali. From this Timucuan name is derived Ocala,, a designation distinctive among the oldest place-names of Florida. Marion County, named for General Francis Marion, was created in 1844. Ocala in 1846 was founded at the County Seat.
