Bradford County is Florida's 36^th county, established on December 21, 1858, from segments of Columbia and Alachua counties. When originally established, it was named New River County, after a river of the same name. It was renamed after Captain Richard Bradford on December 6, 1861, honoring the first officer from Florida killed in the Civil War. He died in the Battle of Santa Rosa Island on October 9, 1861. This battle featured approximately 1200 Confederate soldiers unsuccessfully attempting to surprise Union camps and capture Fort Pickens. Starke, possibly named after Governor Madison Starke Perry, 1857-1861, is the county seat.
