Named for a Seminole War hero, Edmund Gaines, Gainesville was founded in 1854. The area was mainly known for its citrus fruit until a series of freezes in the late 1800's halted the industry. When the University of Florida was established in Gainesville in 1906, the area took a new turn and began to develop.
