LIVE OAK
The founding of Live Oak dates back to shortly before the Civil War. Established in 1858, Live Oak was located at a junction between two strategically important railways: one operating between Jacksonville and Tallahassee, and another running south from Dupont, Georgia. The numerous live oak trees in the area likely inspired the naming of the town. Live Oak is the county seat of Suwannee County Florida and is located east of Tallahassee Florida. Population about 7,000.
