Do you know how Osceola County got its name? Osceola was a Seminole military warrior in the 1830’s during the Second Seminole War. Although he was referred to as Chief Osceola, he was never a chief. His real name was Billy Powell. He is remembered and honored as a great fighter and resistance leader, hence earning our county being named after him. In celebration of Native American Heritage month, stop by our free history museum to see a real hand dug canoe used by the Seminoles found near Lake T

Osceola, if not the most important Indian leader in the Seminole War (1835-1842), is certainly the best known. His fame is largely due to the circumstances of his capture and death, but the Abolitionist movement of his own day also con-tributed. That Osceola was driven into hostility to the United States by the seizure and reduction to slavery of one of his wives, the daughter of an Indian chief and a runaway Negro woman, is one of the best-known and most generally accepted. **** After returning
