Alachua

Few cities in north-central Florida have a history as closely tied to railroad development as Alachua. The city grew around rail connections that helped turn this part of Alachua County into a trading and agricultural centre, and its traditional downtown remains focused on Main Street. Alachua lies in Florida’s inland karst country, within the broader Santa Fe River basin, where forests, wetlands and sinkhole-fed waterways shape the regional terrain. Nearby San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park protects a substantial tract of hardwood forest and trails.
