The site was occupied for about 2,000 years. Why the complex was abandoned is currently unknown.〔(Crystal River State Archaeological Site )〕 Citrus County was created in 1887. The Citrus County area was formerly part of a Hernando County. It was named for the county's citrus groves. Citrus production declined dramatically after the "Big Freeze" of 1894-1895. Today, citrus is grown on one large grove, Bellamy Grove. Additionally, some people do have trees on their personal property. The original Citrus County seat was Mansfield, or Mannsfeld. The county seat was moved to Inverness. Only a street and a pond remain of the original town.〔(Citrus County Florida INDEPENDENT History & Genealogy Page )〕 The first library in Citrus County was founded in 1917 in Inverness.
