| Desoto County, Florida |
DeSoto County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida. As of 2000, the population
was 32,209. The U.S. Census Bureau 2005 estimate for the county is 35,406. Its county
seat is Arcadia, Florida. The county comprises the Arcadia, Florida Micropolitan Statistical
Area.
De Soto County was created in 1887. It was named for Hernando de Soto, Spanish
explorer, whose name was also honored in Hernando County.
DeSoto County originally included several present day counties. In 1921 Florida
legislation was passed to break up the size of the county. This produced the following
counties: Charlotte, Glades, Hardee, and Highlands.
During World War II DeSoto County operated the Carlstrom Field Air Base. The Air Base
facilitated air training for American and British pilots. Twenty three British pilots who were
killed while training at the base are honored at DeSoto County's Oak Ridge Cemetery,
which is located in the town of Arcadia. In 1945 the base turned out their last cadets
before shutting their doors. The field was sold to the State of Florida for $1 and was later
converted to a mental health facility known as G. Pierce Wood Memorial Hospital. This has
since been converted to a facility for juvenile offenders.
On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley went directly through DeSoto County. Even
though hurricane force winds only lashed the county for about an hour, most buildings in
the county sustained damage, and many were totally destroyed.
