Archer started in the 1840s as a frontier village named Deer Hammock or Darden’s Hammock. The Florida Railroad reached the village in 1858 which shifted the site of the town eastward. At this point the city was renamed Archer, after James T. Archer, Florida’s first Secretary of State. The first trains stopped in Archer in 1859.
