Fort Drum, Florida

There is a cemetery in the middle of the town on almost eight acres, in which many of the first settlers of Fort Drum were buried and still remain.

Vast limestone deposits containing the remains of large bivalve molluscs developed calcite crystallization while still under water.

[2][3] After the end of the Second Seminole War in 1842, the US Army built a network of forts across the central part of the state, with military roads that connected them.

With the completion in 1914 of the Kissimmee Valley Extension, the Florida East Coast Railroad brought changes to the area.

They built a small depot in Fort Drum, as well as one to the north, named Osawaw, and south, called Hilolo.
