FORMER STATE PROSECUTORS

Sumter County was formed in 1853 after an American Revolutionary War general. Originally Sumter County was a part of neighbor Marion County with Leesburg as the county seat. In 1881, Sumterville became the county seat until 1912, when after a fire destroyed the courthouse, the final courthouse destination was established as Bushnell. Sumter County has undergone some major changes in recent times as the very popular retirement destination The Villages has developed. Still a very rural county, a common jury selected could very well include a rancher, over the road truck driver, retired law enforcement from the northeast, etc. The inclusion of The Villages into the electorate has made for some very interesting political legal issues in recent memory.
