History & History Related Items

This area is named after Eliza Lealman, Sheriff of Suwannee County 1862-1864 and Suwannee County Tax Collector 1864-1866. Coming to Hillsboro in or about the late 1870's, Lellmans Station was first noted on the 1895 Hillsboro County maps. On the Rand McNally map of 1900 it was corrected to read Lealman. According to the 1895 Florida Atlas there was a railway station located at Atlantic Coast Line's milepost 70.1. This mile marker is located at the now address of 4250 52 Ave. N. (just off Main St. at 52 Ave. N.). This station was called a "home station" which means the cars were left at the location to be loaded with the local's citrus, eggs, barrels of resin from the nearby turpentine still, etc then picked up by the out-going train. There was not a ticket booth at the station but passengers would be able to purchase tickets from the conductor.
