Sumter County, Florida

Sumter County is located in west central Florida, northwest of Orlando. Created in 1853 from part of Marion County, it is named after Revolutionary War hero General Thomas Sumter. Much of the eastern portion of the county was once part of a Seminole Indian reservation. It is now one of the fastest growing counties in Florida and the United States, mainly due to rapid expansion of The Villages, a huge retirement complex in the northeast corner of the county. Between the 2000 and 2010 census, the population grew by more than 75%, to 93,420. The total area of the county is 580 square miles. The county seat is Bushnell, in the center of the area.
