Your fight is our fight.

A Brief History of Pasco County

Pasco County was created on June 2, 1887, when the Florida legislature divided the southern portion of Hernando County into a new, separate jurisdiction, part of a broader reorganization of west-central Florida counties.

Lawmakers initially considered naming the new county 'Banner' before the bill was revised to honor Samuel Pasco, a Florida politician who had just been elected to the United States Senate, though he never visited the county that bears his name.

For much of its early history, the county's economy centered on citrus groves and small-scale farming, along with modest fishing and timber activity, before the county began experiencing rapid suburban growth tied to the expansion of the greater Tampa Bay region.

Pasco County's Economy Today

Pasco County's economy today rests heavily on service-oriented sectors, with public education, health care, retail, and government administration among the largest sources of employment.

Local economic development efforts have targeted several emerging industry clusters, including advanced manufacturing, life sciences, aerospace and defense-related work, and logistics and distribution.

Tourism and outdoor recreation also contribute to the local economy, drawing on the county's Gulf coast shoreline, rivers, and large preserved tracts such as the Withlacoochee State Forest.
