The one historical fort in Hernando County that we have sign for, indicating its location is Fort Taylor. The sign does not actually list the fort but rather Fort Taylor Cemetery. Fort Taylor appears to have been mainly a Third Seminole War fort which lasted from 1855 to 1858. It is not mentioned in the list of Second Seminole War forts in Hernando County from the 1830s and 40s which were Fort Cross, Fort
Annutteliga, and Fort De Soto. The Second Seminole War lasted from 1835 to 1842. The first mention of Fort Taylor that I was able to find was on August 27, 1851 a post office is established at Fort Taylor and Capt. Robert D. Bradley is chosen as the first postmaster. On March 16, 1854 David Hope was appointed Postmaster of Fort Taylor. Robert Bradley’s house in north Pasco was attacked during in third Seminole War on May 14, 1856. See FORT TAYLOR, Page 14
