Citrus County lies on Florida's northwest-central Gulf Coast and was created in 1887 from part of Hernando County, named for its citrus groves. Inverness is the county seat and Crystal River the other incorporated city, while Homosassa Springs is the largest community. Landmarks include the Crystal River Archaeological State Park mound complex, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and the Withlacoochee State Trail. Housing includes lakefront and spring-fed waterfront homes, established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions and rural acreage.
