The area is part of the more fabulous city of Ocala, which has a long and illustrious history. Ocala’s name stems from the defunct Timucuan tribe, whose village was known as “Ocali,” which means “Big Hammock” in English.

Ocala’s streets now bear Native American names, while others bear Spanish names derived from earlier land concessions.

Ocala came into being as the county seat of Marion County in 1846. By 1847, residents had built a courthouse on the plaza, relocated the post office to Ocala, and started a weekly newspaper. By 1858, Ocala had established itself as one of Florida’s most important social and commercial hubs.

On the land part of the 1817 Alvarez grant, Joseph Caldwell laid out a 50-block section southeast of the original city plan in 1880. This property had a route passing that connected Ocala with Fort King.

A fire almost destroyed the town’s core in 1883. Brick and other fire-resistant materials replaced logs throughout the reconstruction. As a result, Ocala earned the moniker “Brick City,” which it still bears.

The Town of Ocala was locally formed in 1868, according to the 1885 Charter of Ocala, and received state recognition on February 4, 1869. The city limits were 1000 yards in all directions from the main square at incorporation.

By 1890, Ocala had grown to four square miles in size and had a population of 1,895, making it Florida’s sixth biggest city. The Tuscawilla Park Historic Districts and Ocala have historical residences built within a few blocks of Court House Square.
