Where'd that name come from?

Have you ever asked yourself where a name of a city or county in Florida came from? While a lot of them sound like Indian names, we still never really know the true meaning. This book breaks down every city & county in Florida and tells you how the name was dervied & what it's true meaning is. Great book for Florida students writing on a particular area.
