Jasper City Hall

Jasper, Florida, is a quaint town nestled in the North Florida lowlands, strategically located 83 miles west of Jacksonville and 90 miles east of Tallahassee. Founded near essential supplies yet maintaining a sense of independence, Jasper has a rich history that includes its origins as a settlement for pioneers seeking protection during the Second Seminole War.

The area is believed to have been inhabited by the Miccosukee Indians, with archaeological evidence such as pottery and arrowheads found nearby. Today, Jasper honors its historical roots, including its namesake, Sergeant William Jasper, a notable Southern hero from the Revolutionary War.
