Your fight is our fight.
A Brief History of Santa Rosa County
Santa Rosa County was separated from the much larger Escambia County by an act of Florida's territorial legislature in 1842, making it one of the older counties in the state's panhandle region.
The county takes its name from Santa Rosa Island, the barrier island along its Gulf coast, which itself was named in honor of Rosa de Viterbo, a thirteenth-century Italian Catholic saint.
Milton, the county seat, grew during the 19th and early 20th centuries into a center of the lumber and naval stores industries, processing timber harvested from the extensive pine woods that covered much of the county.
Santa Rosa County's Economy Today
Military and defense activity now form the largest single component of Santa Rosa County's economy, centered on Naval Air Station Whiting Field, which trains nearly all Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard helicopter pilots.
Government employment, at the state, local, and federal levels, ranks among the county's largest employment categories, and a major national retailer is typically cited as the county's largest private-sector employer.
Agriculture continues to contribute tens of millions of dollars annually to the county's economy, even as tourism along Navarre Beach and other Gulf-front communities has grown into a meaningful source of seasonal income.
