History

De Soto landed at Tampa Bay, Florida Bay in May of 1539. Francis River and eventually into Butler County. It would have been undoubtedly a convenience to them and a financial benefit, but they chose to have their county seat in the center of the county on a navigable river to make it more easily accessible to all who would come here to live. They could have well chosen the Cane Creek area, site of the first settlement. They chose an uninhabited bluff on Black River on which to place the town that would contain their governing offices and they named it for the beautiful poplar trees that grew profusely on that bluff.
