Beginnings [1]

Fort DeSoto was established in 1840 and a community known as Melendez was settled about 5 years later. Brooksville was established in 1856, established from these two places. It was incorporated in 1880.

Four pioneer families played prominent roles in the early days of Brooksville: the Howells, the Mays, the Hales and the Parsons.

The City is sited among rolling hills about 15 miles east of the Gulf of Mexico and about 45 miles north of Tampa.
