History


The community was known as Smith Springs until 1893 when some Bostonians purchased the land about the five springs here and renamed the town Panacea, after the goddess of universal remedy, because of the curative properties of the waters.[4][5] Most of the development in the area was destroyed by a hurricane in 1928.[6]

During the Civil War a large plant here supplied salt for much of western Florida.[7]
