Woodcrest Homes for Sale

Woodcrest is a subdivision located in Lake City, Florida. The Spanish settled in this region way back in the 1530s. Career military man and renowned explorer Hernando de Soto arrived at Tampa Bay with nine ships, 600 men, and 220 horses on a mission to discover new territory for the Spanish kingdom, as well as to search for gold. As he and his men traveled north, they encountered the Utina and Seminole Native Americans. Over a hundred years later, Spanish missionaries began establishing missions throughout Florida, with the Santa Cruz de Tarihica established just a tad west of modern-day Lake City. The Spanish used Santa Cruz de Tarihica to develop agricultural methods in the area and to build a report with Native Americans who lived nearby. In the early part of the 19th century, Spain's economy was hurting, and it couldn’t afford to pay soldiers or government to maintain its stronghold over Florida, which led to Spain reluctantly signing a treaty that gave Florida to the United States. Nearly ten years later in 1832, Lake City was formed as the county seat of Columbia County.
