About: Newnansville, Florida

An Entity of Type: historic place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Newnansville Town Site is the location of the former town of Newnansville, Florida, which initially existed in Alachua County before becoming part of newly-formed Columbia County in 1832, after which it was restored in 1839 being restored as the seat of Alachua County. In the 1850s, the Florida Railroad bypassed Newnansville, resulting in the county seat being moved to new town of Gainesville in 1854. Consequently, Newnansville began to decline, as subsequent railways, particularly the Savannah line which ran through Micanopy in 1884 also bypassed the town. By 1900, Newnansville was deserted.
