Dispatch Center
The City of Starke, located in the heart of north-central Florida, is one of the region's oldest communities, serving as the seat of Bradford County with a population of around 6,000 residents. Founded in 1870, Starke's history is closely linked to the railroad, which spurred significant growth in the late 1800s as farmers flocked to the area to cultivate citrus and strawberries.
Today, Starke remains a cultural center, situated less than an hour south of Jacksonville and 30 minutes north of Gainesville. The city features a historic downtown with local restaurants, shops, and a 1940s-era movie theater, alongside educational opportunities at Santa Fe College, which has received national recognition for its excellence in community college education.
