Pasco County is Florida's 45^th county, established on June 2, 1887, from a segment of Hernando County. It gains its name from Samuel Pasco of Monticello. At the time the county was named, he was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. He later went on to serve in the United States Senate. Dade City, named after Major Francis Langhorne Dade, U.S. Army, is the county seat. Dade was killed by Seminoles on December 28, 1835, when his detachment of 110 men were ambushed and slaughtered in what became known as "The Dade Massacre."
