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 (3.546 ha) 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 use of the land.
