History
Long before Christopher Columbus set foot in America Florida was inhabited by prehistoric people who built earthen mounds for burial and ceremonial sites. The first European settlers started to arrive in the 1500s, but it wasn’t until the U.S. government began asking people to help cultivate the area in exchange for land that the population began to grow. During the Civil War, although there were no major land battles close to the city, the government issued a blockade around the coast to prevent supplies from reaching the Confederates, and there were several sea skirmishes between the two sides. The Battle of Crystal River took place in 1862, and re-enactments of the battle are still done today.
After the war, farmers migrated to the area and began planting citrus crops. Other individuals found ways to profit from the natural vegetation along the river banks. Turpentine was made from the pine trees that grew along the river, and cedar trees were harvested to manufacture pencils. Before there were any local factories, the logs were shipped to Germany for processing. Later, the Dixon Cedar Mill and the Crystal River Lumber Company were built and began manufacturing different products. The first railroad was built in the 1880s, and the population grew rapidly. Crystal River was incorporated as a city in 1906.
