Hello, we are the Highlands County Genealogical Society, your new host, and Welcome to Highlands County. I hope you enjoy your visit here today. Highlands County was formed in 1921 from part of Desoto County and we then became a part of the Tri-County area. The Tri-County area includes Highlands, Glades and Hardee County which were all prior to 1921 part of Desoto County.
Our CC is Mike Flood and our ACC is Peggy McSwain
Please use your back button on your browser to return here if you'd like after your visit to Desoto County. And for quick links to the other counties above please visit my links page. If however you need records dating after 1920 then you have come to the right place.
Also take a few minutes now to join a new list in Florida which covers our entire area, "Old DeSoto County", it is called FLDESOTO-List. It covers the part of Florida that was once all part of DeSoto County until 1921. We have joined forces to try and offer to you the most information for the area as possible to aid in your research efforts.
To join in LIST form send an e-mail message now to:
FLDESOTO-L-request@rootsweb.com

Our New List covers the Counties of: DeSoto, Hardee, Glades, Charolette, and Highlands Counties. What makes this list so great is that the County Corrdinators of all five Counties help answer your questions about the five Counties. Hope to see you there real soon!
Highlands County Florida is located in the Center of the State. We are for the most part a friendly bunch of Southern people. Highlands County is made up of the following Cities, Towns, and suburbs; Avon Park, Lake Placid,Sebring, Lorida, Venus, and Spring Lake. We are well known for our Citrus industry, Caladium bulbs, 12 hours of Sebring which draws thousands each year in March.
