The 506-square-mile county contains not only the city of Brooksville, which is the county seat, but also Hernando Beach, Istachatta, Masaryktown, Nobleton, Rolling Acres, Spring Hill and Weeki Wachee. If those don’t satisfy your urge for cities, Tampa, one of Florida’s largest metropolises, is located only about a 45-mile drive to the south along the Suncoast Parkway. Orlando, with it’s theme parks, is only about a 50-mile drive to the east.

Prefer to take things slower? Maybe your interests lie more toward nature and wildlife? Hernando County has that covered very adequately, too. Large parts of the county are devoted to wildlife and nature. Within this one, single county are Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, the Withlacoochee State Forest, Chinsegut Hill National Wildlife Refuge, the Weeki Wachee Preserve, the Silver Lake Recreation Area, and Weekee Wachee Springs. And since the average temperature for January is 60 degrees, the climate allows for years-around enjoyment of the outdoors.

Are you a history buff? Again, lovely Hernando County has that covered as well. Originally named in 1843 for Spanish explorer Hernando Desoto, the name was changed to “Benton” in 1844. This was in honor of Senator Thomas H. Benton, who put the bill before State Legislature that opened the land up for settlement.
When Senator Benton’s position on the Missouri Compromise was changed, residents petitioned for the county’s original name to be restored. That’s just one tidbit from Hernando’s rich history.
