Gilchrist County, Florida
Gilchrist County is a small agricultural county on the Suwannee River west of Gainesville, centred on Trenton and Bell. Dairy, poultry and row crops drive it, and it is one of the few rural Florida counties gaining population steadily — Gainesville commuters and retirees buying acreage, which puts the practical limit on development at septic suitability and river-corridor protections.
