Bailey Hill

The Bailey Hill Settlement is surmised to have been located near the intersection of present day Citrus Way and Bailey Hill Road. It is not known just how many people lived in the settlement or who they were. We can only surmise that the original family were named Bailey.

Brookridge

Brookridge is a modular home community about 6 miles west of Brooksville on SR50. It has been in existence since the early 1970's.

Buddy's Lake

Buddy's Lake Settlement is listed on the 1850 Federal Census of Benton (now Hernando) County. From the family name associated with this settlement it was located in the southeastern part of Hernando County, most likely the area is now a part of Pasco County. Some of the family names from the 1850 Census are: Smith, Tucker, Mills, Lanier, Tyner, Jackson, Mizell, Townsend, Crum, Bates, Hancock and Moody. These family names are closely associates with the present Spring Lake area of Hernando and Pasco Counties. Some of the persons enumerated in 1850 are buried in the Townsend House Cemetery and the Tucker Cemetery, both in today's northern Pasco County.

Camps

Camps Settlement was company housing for the employees of Camps Rock Mine in Hernando County. This settlement was located just a few hundred feet from the Yontz Road entrance to the mine. By 1980 no one lived there and the houses were moved to a remote location of the Mine's property by 2002. Over the years this mine changed hands several times and has been known as Florida Crushed Stone, and is currently CEMEX. The houses have all been torn down and nothing remains of the Camps Settlement but memories.
