Hernando County is Florida's 22^nd county, established on February 24, 1843, from segments of Hillsborough County, Mosquito County, and Alachua County. It is one of two counties that gains its name from Hernando de Soto, a famous Spanish explorer. From March 6, 1844, till December 24, 1850, the county was renamed Benton in honor of Thomas Hart Benton. He gained this honor for sponsoring the Armed Occupation Act of 1842, which was favored by Floridians wanting to evict the Native Americans. He later fell out of favor and the name was changed back to Hernando. Brooksville is the county seat.
