Hernando County
Hernando County was established in 1843 and named in honor of Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto. Now known as Florida's Adventure Coast, our freshwater rivers and springs, state forests and preserves and Gulf waters provide opportunities for many land and water adventures for residents and tourists.
Our county is the geographic center of the state, and is located on the central-west coast of Florida. Businesses are drawn to this location because of our affordability, accessibility and ;abundant space to relocate or expand. It's a place where community and commerce thrive. These are just some of the reasons why Hernando is great place to start or grow a business.
