Marion County 
3925 East Fort King Street
Ocala, FL 34470

Historical Significance:

On Feb. 4, 2004, Fort King was declared a National Historical Landmark. This was the birthplace of Ocala, FL and named after the extinct Timucan Indians. Fort King was built around 1827 and was the site of military headquarters built to protect nearby settlers. This site includes one acre of land owned by the Ocala DAR chapter and is now leased to the City of Ocala/Marion County with the purpose of making this historical site available to the public, to preserve and protect it because of its historical significance.

Acknowledgements: The Ocala Chapter, NSDAR marked the property in 1933. It purchased in 1927 an acre of land to protect the original burial site for both soldiers and civilians. After the Seminal Wars ended, the bodies were moved to St. Augustine.
