Welcome to the
Neighborhood
Sumter County is located in the state of Florida with the county seat being the city of
Bushnell. The largest community is The Villages, which have sustained a large increase in
population, almost solely due to the expansion of The Villages retirement complex. Sumter
County was created in 1853 and was named in honor of American Revolutionary War
solider, General Thomas Sumter. Sumter County comprises the Metropolitan Statistical Area
of The Villages, which is included in the Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach, FL Combined
Statistical Area as well.
There is plenty to see and do here in the Sumter County Area. Find some family fun
activities, outdoor adventure or do some relaxing with friends. Come explore the outdoors,
do some hiking or biking, go fishing, boating, golfing or attend an outdoor event. Come
grab a bite to eat or do some shopping, enjoy a live theatre show or explore the historical
landmarks around the area. No matter what kind of adventure you’re looking for, you’re
sure to find something here in the beautiful Sumter County Area!

4 5Health Health
Excellent health care…
Close to home.
Having good health overall is a major key to a long and healthy life. Finding ways to
take care of your health can aid in recovery and help you feel better daily. Get routine
check-ups and visit your doctor when you're not feeling well. Sometimes, it is hard to
tell whether not feeling well is due to a side-effect of medicine, a symptom of a health
disorder or any other different health problem. Talk to your doctor or other health care
specialist for any other questions or information.
