A Cassadine ancestor that lived in the 1800s. Prior to going to war he had a bracelet made for his wife that symbolized the love that he pledged to her forever. He was killed in the war, but his wife never remarried and for 60 years she wore his bracelet. The bracelet was smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the 1900s in the lining of a bodice belonging to a Cassadine woman.

History

Second Seminole War

On June 8, 1840, Colonel W. J. Worth, Colonel Bennet Riley, and the Second and Eighth Infantry divisions transferred to Fort McClure to search the Lake Panasoffkee area for Seminole Warriors. Three days later, the troops discovered an empty village.

Modern town

By 1853, Fort McClure was renamed Warm Springs.

In 1882, the town was renamed Coleman after Dr. B. F. Coleman.

The main industries were citrus, cotton, and cattle. According to Broward Mill, the past president of the Sumter County Historical Society, Coleman became known for its cabbage production in the early part of the 20th century.

In 1926, the West Palm Beach branch of the Seaboard Air Line began operations in Coleman.

In 1992, Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) officials approved the purchase of 8.762 acres (square kilometers) on the northeastern shores of Lake Panasoffkee near Coleman for the purchase of environmental preservation. SWFWMD officials sought to preserve over 300 species and neighboring Lake Panasoffkee. Although some residents applauded the move, others, such as Sumter County Commissioner Jim Allen, felt that the agency would prevent public usage of the land.
