Bronson

Bronson became the county seat in 1869, replacing the ghost town of Levyville which, like many towns at the time, disappeared after the railroad bypassed it. Bronson now houses the county courthouse and constitutional officers, such as the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector. Numerous other county offices are located here as well, including the planning department and attorney’s office.

Bronson is between Chiefland to the west and Williston to the east, with US Alternate 27 connecting all three. Small shops and restaurants line the main road, with the Bronson Speedway north of town. Nearby cities include Gainesville (about 24.5 miles) and Ocala (38 miles).
