Pasco County was created in 1887 from the southern part of Hernando County. It was
named for Samuel Pasco, who served in the Confederate Army, the state legislature and
in the United States Senate from 1887 to 1899. The earliest towns were Anclote, Blanton,
Dade City, Earnestville, Fort Dade, Macon (Trilby), Lacoochee and San Antonio. Citrus was
an important industry when the county was formed, although a decline followed a freeze
in 1895. Several large sawmills operated in the county in the early part of the twentieth
century. During the Florida land boom of the 1920s, New Port Richey became the winter
home of silent screen star Thomas Meighan and golfer Gene Sarazen; Meighan attempted
to bring other Hollywood figures to the city. The county has experienced significant
population growth since the 1960s. The growth began along the Gulf coast but is now
occurring most rapidly in areas north of Tampa.
