History
Chamber
Born in the mid-1800s from the forts erected against the Indian attacks, the central Florida soil that comprises Hardee County today is some of the richest in the world. We are one of the country’s top prime agricultural centers – our abundant produce and prize-winning livestock bring top dollar, our sweet Valencia oranges in constant demand. It’s a legacy of success that’s made Hardee County one of a kind. “Quality of life” takes on new meaning in a setting where children can walk to neighborhood schools, housing is affordable and appealing, businesses enjoy minimal overhead and optimal labor force and the pace stays somewhere between smooth and steady. Life in Hardee County means land, lots of it – some 500,000 acres. It means clean air, clean water, safe streets, friendly neighbors, affordable living and “hometown” fun. It’s this one-of-a-kind life that unites the over 28,000 residents of Hardee County in our effort to at once enhance and ensure all this heartland haven has to offer. The Hardee County Chamber of Commerce wants our future to be as prosperous as our past. To that end, we’re taking steps every day to assure planned and positive growth. We believe Hardee County offers a lifestyle unparalleled by any other area. But don’t take our word for it: Come see for yourself that we’re one of a kind! Community Guide & Business Directory 2020 |

Hardee History
Originated in 1921 and named after Cary A. Hardee, Governor of Florida, Hardee County is rich in history and culture dating back to the 1800s. With Wauchula being the municipal city, the County also includes Zolfo Springs and Bowling Green. In between Bowling Green and Zolfo is the county seat of Wauchula, derived from a Miccosoukee Indian word meaning “call of the Sandhill crane”. The Sandhill crane is featured in Main Street’s Heritage Park where you are surrounded by local shops, restaurants and businesses. Local vendors and patrons fill the streets during festivals and parades to celebrate school events and holidays. A few miles north of Wauchula is Bowling Green, a small city but one with great heritage. Payne’s Creek Historic State Park just a few miles east of town the area near the park was the site of Fort Chokonikla,, which was built in 1849 as the first outpost in a chain of forts to ensure the area’s original citizens, the Seminoles, were kept at bay.
