Levy County History | Levy County HistoryToni Collins Thursday, July 25, 2002 176 years ago 19 August 1826 - A corps of U.S. Engineers is busily employed in surveying the route of a ship canal across the territory of Florida. 116 years ago 01 April 1886 - (This editorial appeared in the Levy County Times, Bronson). The building of the Suwannee & Gulf Railroad from Cedar Key to Branford; and the Wekiwa, Bronson and Northwestern Railway from Wekiwa Springs to Fort White, will open up the whole of Levy County to settlement and furnish quick transportation for the products raised in every section of the county. The former will open up as fine a section of country as there is in Florida and give an additional outlet to the business of Cedar Key and the coast trade as far south as Manatee River; the latter will pass through a first class country its entire length and connecting with the S.S.O. & G. Railroad at Wekiwa will furnish a direct and quick line of transportation for the whole country contributory to the coast and north of Tampa to the great West and Northwest. These are two most important lines of projected railroad in Florida. Let them be built at as early a day as possible. J.V.
