World War II sparked more growth for @gcsTODAY. By 1947, a Navy mothball (reserve) fleet of ~600 destroyers, destroyer escorts & fleet auxiliaries called the town home. While the fleet was largely gone by 1962 to other U.S. Navy locations, the docks remain. #FLPublicPower #DYK

A warm mineral spring was the inspiration for @gcsTODAY's name in the 1800s. Originally known as White Sulfur Springs, the town was renamed to Green Cove Springs in 1866. A sawmill, citrus agriculture & river-boat tourism sparked the town’s initial growth. #FLPublicPower #DYK
