Ocala

Built around the nineteenth-century Fort King military post, Ocala developed into the seat of Marion County in north-central Florida. The city stands amid the limestone country of the Ocala region, close to Silver Springs, whose waters form the Silver River before joining the Ocklawaha River. Thoroughbred breeding shapes the local identity: Marion County is internationally known for its horse farms, and Ocala is widely called the Horse Capital of the World. Fort King recalls the era of the Seminole Wars, while downtown remains the civic centre of this inland Florida city.
