ABSTRACT
This report is one of a series for selected counties in Florida
designated to compile secondary data from several sources into one
document. The purpose is twofold: first, to present useful information
in a readily usable form; and second, to provide a list of sources for
obtaining more detailed data on related topics. Subjects covered include
general social and economic characteristics of the population, housing,
the economy and labor force characteristics, and data related to the
public sector.
Key words: Florida counties, economic development, rural development,
data, information.
This publication is one of several similar reports in which data
relating to rural development in various counties in Florida are pre-
sented. It is a contribution from the Center for Rural Development in
The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of
Florida.
Appreciation is expressed to Marianne Nott for organizing the
tables and typing this manuscript.

HAMILTON COUNTY: AN OVERVIEW
Hamilton County is located in the northeastern part of the state.
The county is bordered by Columbia County on the east, Suwannee County
on the south, Madison County on the west, and Georgia on the north. The
Suwannee River forms a natural boundary on two sides, winding its way
down the eastern border to White Springs and then along the southern
boundary to where it joins the Withlacoochee River, which forms a
natural boundary on the west. These two rivers provide the county with
approximately 105 miles of river frontage. The county measures approxi-
matley 30 miles from east to west and 20 miles north to south at its
widest points. The county ranks 59th in the state in total land area
covering 508 square miles, approximately 329,000 acres.
About 60 percent of the total terrain is relatively flat with the re-
mainder being slightly rolling. The soil composition is primarily a
medium sandy loam type, with the exception of a few thousand acres on
the extreme northern rim of the county that are medium heavy with a clay
subsoil.
Rural Hamilton County has not experienced the rate of population
expansion that has occurred in the state-as a whole. Hamilton County's
population, primarily supported by agriculture, reached its peak in 1915
with 12,484 persons. From 1915 to 1970, the county experienced a declining
population with only minor spurts of population increases.
Outmigration has been the major cause of declining population, due
primarily to the lack of job opportunities. Agricultural technology has
also been a factor associated with the population decline. Modern tech-
nology during the 1950s and 1960s replaced farm workers who had to leave
the farm and seek employment elsewhere. Since industrial employment op-
portunities were virtually nonexistent during this period in rural Hamilton
County, families were forced to leave the county seeking employment.
Another factor has been the distribution of land holding patterns
in the county. Approximately 59 percent of all land is held by 29 pri-
vate owners. These owners have control over approximately 186,000 acres
represented in holdings of 1,000 acres and over, with the greatest per-
centage of this land being held by large timber companies.
The 1970 U. S. Census credits the county with 7,787 residents. July
1, 1974, population estimates prepared by the Division of Population
Studies, Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Florida,
show Hamilton County with 8,195 residents. Projections by the Bureau
estimate Hamilton County can expect an 8,500 population by 1980 based on
an estimated 3.72 percent increase. However, if the estimated population
trend of this state continues, the Bureau's figure may be somewhat con-
servative.
Hamilton County is very rural with only 704 of the county's 329,600
acres classified as urban. The urban acreage lies in and around three
incorporated towns. Jasper, the county seat, with a population in 1970
of 2,221 is the center of industrial and commercial activity. White
Springs and Jennings, the other two incorporated communities, contain a
population of 767 and 582 respectively. While Jasper experienced only a
5.6 percent increase in population between the 1960 and 1970 Census,
White Springs' and Jennings' populations expanded by 21.2 and 12.8 per-
cent. The growth of White Springs is attributed to the development of
the phosphate industry in that area, while Jennings' growth is a result
of businesses that have established at the interchange of 1-75 and State
Road 6. Approximately 46 percent of the county's population resides within
the incorporated boundaries of the three communities.
From its beginning in 1829, Hamilton County's economy has depended
almost totally upon agriculture. "Sea Island" cotton was the main cash
crop until the Mexican boll weevil virtually destroyed the industry. A
diversified agriculture followed cotton. Today the county's agricultural
picture is primarily one of general farming and timber. Approximately
68,000 acres are in cultivation and pasture with the remaining 215,000
acres in forest. Farms and private ownership account for approximately
113,000 acres. This represents approximately 402 farms with the average
size being 283 acres. The 1970 statistics indicate a 16 percent decrease
in the number of farms and a 7 percent increase in average farm size over
1960 data.
vii
The latest technological improvements as utilized on Hamilton County's
farms today have made sweeping changes as compared to the county's early
days. As a result, gross farm income more than tripled from $5 million in
1966 to better than $16 million in 1975. Rather than being a one crop
county, agriculture is now very diversified with corn, tobacco, peanuts,
and soybeans being the principle cash crops, and poultry, cattle and hogs
accounting for the livestock enterprises. Forest products have also made
a very substantial contribution to the county's economy. The four mentioned
crops collectively accounted for approximately $11.2 million in gross
income for the local economy in 1974. Poultry, cattle, and hogs repre-
sented another $2.7 million, while the forest industry added approximately
$2 million. In addition, USDA programs are responsible for better than
$1000,000 in payments to local farmers directly related to agricultural
production.
Although the major economic thrust has been agriculture, the need
for a more balanced economy between agriculture and commerce has also
been recognized. During the early 60's, the county was designated as
an economically deprived area by the Federal Government. As a result
of the designation, an Overall Economic Development Program forthe county
was drawn up by the local citizens with.technical assistance provided by
the Cooperative Extension Service and other federal and state agencies.
The plan gave them a better understanding of the economic situation facing
the community.
About the time local citizens really began to get involved in ec-
onomic planning and projections, two interstate highways, 1-10 and 1-75,
crossed just south of the county line totally bypassing each of the three
towns. This was considered the final blow as service stations, motels,
and restaurants closed leaving main streets deserted. However, rather
than being the "straw that broke the camel's back", the transportation
system helped bring industry to the area.
A major natural resource discovery has played an important role in
the county's recent growth. As a result of the rich deposits of phos-
phate'beneath Hamilton County land, a $10 million mining and processing in-
dustry was brought into the county employing approximately 400-600 people
in 1964. Fortunately for the county, the plant was located in an area
that was readily accessible to towns of surrounding counties that helped
viii
absorb the increased need for housing, schools, shopping facilities, and other
public services. By 1978, this operation will have grown to a $395 million
mining and processing complex employing approximately 2,400 people. The
fact that county citizens were already involved in community development
helped ease the impact of this industry.
A Hamilton County Development Authority was established and industrial
sites were obtained for supporting industries that followed the phosphate
mining. Today, industrial sites house a plywood industry supply mobile
home manufacturers; a garmet factory; and a door factory manufacturing doors
for the building trades. Although the economic slump has taken its toll,
these industries normally offer employment to approximately 250 persons.
New sewer and water facilities have been installed to serve the in-
dustrial sites as well as the towns of Jasper, Jennings, and White Springs.
Several agribusiness industries have emerged through the joint efforts of
industry and agriculture. A grain drying and processing plant offers a
new market for locally produced grain. A meat processing plant opened in
the county offering: custom slaughtering, cutting, wrapping, and commercial
processing.
Recreation and tourism in conjunction with agriculture and industry
have also played an important role in the economic development. A golf
course and country club became a reality through the efforts of local
people and Farmers Home Administration. Today, a modern nine-hole golf
course and country club with over 200 members is located adjacent to a
busy thoroughfare in the county.
Another natural resource, water-based recreation, whose full potential
is yet to be developed, abounds due to the county's 105 miles of water front
property on the Suwannee and Withlacoochee Rivers. The Stephen Foster
Memorial Park, a state park on the banks of the Suwannee at White Springs, is
already a major drawing card to the area. Boat ramps and fishing facil-
ities have been established on the banks of the rivers for the convenience
of tourists as well as local fishermen. In addition, a county recreation
park has become a reality offering lighted playing fields, a rodeo arena
and picnic facilities.
The health and welfare needs of local citizens have been greatly im-
proved through the efforts of citizens' participation in rural develop-
ment planning. A thirty-bed general hospital adequately staffed and
operating at full capacity offers excellent medical care to the county.
A new modern health clinic now serves the county offering family plan-
ning services and care for the underprivileged and indigent. In addition,
an emergency ambulance service operated by the county offers 24-hour pro-
tection to the county. A joint venture by citizens monetarily joining
together for a common cause resulted in the establishment of a 56-bed
nursing home.
Every opportunity has been made by the county to improve its water
and sewer facilities. The Economic Development Administration and Farm-
ers Home Administration have provided loans and grants for expansion of
water lines and installation of a new sewage treatment plant.
Local involvement by citizens in education problems resulted in a
bond issue paving the way for improved facilities. Once the bond issue
debate was resolved, schools were reorganized and consolidated, with
facilities for adult education, vocational training, and special programs
for physically and mentally retarded children.
In a different vein, Hamilton County is faced with problems as are
most other counties across the nation. Even with excellent educational
facilities, statistics point to the fact that only 22.7 percent of the
total population in 1970 over 25 years of age are high school graduates.
The lack of education is reflected in income capabilities. The 1970 census
data indicate that 584 families in the county or 31.6 percent of all families
receive income below poverty level. Of the 67 counties in the state,
Hamilton ranks 60th with a mean family income of $6,608. Housing character-
istics, another factor of the standard of living in a community, indicate
that approximately 29.7 percent of the total housing units in the county
are substandard with the median value of all dwellings being approximately
$6,900. Thirty-five percent of all houses were constructed prior to 1940.
It is these problems that must be addressed to substantially increase
the economic and social welfare of citizens in the county.
The structure and nature of communities in Florida are undergoing
drastic changes as a result of rapid population growth -- the fastest in
the nation. Population projections indicate approximately ten million
people will be residing in Florida by the early 1980s. This represents
a 22 percent projected increase in population between 1975 and the early
1980s. Ninety-one percent of this growth will come from inward migration.
x
As a result, Hamilton County will probably experience some of this influx
of people. One of the most demanding problems facing local citizens and
governments is how to accommodate this new growth.
For future growth and development to be beneficial and a contribution
to the community, it must be planned for and encouraged. It is important
that citizens of Hamilton County understand that they can have an effect
on the quantity and quality of growth which they may desire for their
county. It is anticipated that this Rural Development Information Report
will provide needed information and sources of reference to help in making
community decisions concerning the future welfare of this county and its
citizens.
