Westchester, Florida is a city in Florida that has been around since the early 1900s. Westchester, Florida was founded by a man named West Westchester. West Westchester’s family had deep roots and connections to the Civil War era which explains why there are so many historic buildings and sites in this small area of Florida. The city didn’t get its name until after World War II when people started moving into what used to be farmland and farming communities. See more here.

West Westchester’s grandson, West Westchester III decided to name the city after his grandfather.
