Micanopy is an old Florida Town, as Florida Towns go. It was originally a Timucuan Indian village known as Cuscawilla. The town has about 650 inhabitants and is located in north central Florida south of Gainesville, within easy reach of Interstate 75. In 1821 Wanton's Trading Post was established here, and for a time the town was known as "Wanton." The name Micanopy comes from Chief Micanopy, who was leader of the Seminole people in the early 1800's.

You can learn more about Micanopy at the Micanopy Historical Society, which is a fine small museum in the old Thrasher Warehouse, on Cholokka Boulevard.
