Bushnell was established in 1885
and incorporated in 1911. The City of Bushnell was
named after John W. Bushnell, who was responsible
for bringing the railroad to the community. Bushnell
is the Seat of Sumter County and is located within
easy driving distance to both Tampa and Orlando.
Our rural atmosphere is inviting to those who like
to enjoy a more relaxed life style than that which
is found in our neighboring metropolitan areas.
Bushnell is a full service City,
providing Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Sanitation
to our customers. Located in close proximity to
other smaller communities, Bushnell is the central
market area to a much larger region. The City also
has a large commercial base that is rapidly expanding,
especially at the interchange of SR 48 and I-75,
which is within the municipal boundaries.
Bushnell’s motto is “Committed to the Quality of
Life” and it is the guiding principal by which all
municipal decisions are made. Capturing Bushnell's
historical flavor and hometown atmosphere is important
to city officials who are busy balancing Bushnell's
past with their future. We hope you enjoy our website
and come visit our community soon.
