History

Havana is of Indian origin and honours the name of Cuba’s capital.

In 1902, following the completion of the of Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railroad, settlers moved a mile east to the present site of Havana, Florida. The railway town was important to the export of farming and tobacco. On December 5, 1906, Havana was incorporated into a town. The name “Havana” was proposed by James Mathewson, a schoolteacher. Shade tobacco was an important crop at that time.

On March 16, 1916, Havana was destroyed by a fire and 26 business-owned buildings were burned leaving only two remaining stores.

In recent times, much of the tobacco crop industry has declined and is known for its antiques, art galleries and specialty stores.
