🏰 A Quick Look at Pasco’s History

Pasco County was officially established in 1887, carved from Hernando County. Known for its citrus groves and cattle ranches, the area has deep agricultural roots—some of which you can still see today in Dade City’s historic downtown and farm festivals.

Over the last two decades, the county has transformed into a booming residential hub while holding onto its small-town charm. With the rise of master-planned communities, top schools, and new infrastructure, it’s become a destination for families, retirees, and professionals alike.
