History

Formed in 1887 from Hernando County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Pasco County was created from Hernando County in 1887. The county has exchanged territory with Polk County multiple times: losing land in 1891, gaining land in 1942, and losing land again in 1949.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
