Gainesville is the county seat of Alachua County, Florida, and the largest city in North Central Florida, with a population of 141,085 in 2020. It is the principal city of the Gainesville metropolitan area, which had a population of 339,247 in 2020.
Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, the fourth-largest public academic world campus by enrollment in the United States as of the 2021โ2022 academic year. The college circles hosts the Florida Gators sports teams in the NCAA competitions.
There is archeological evidence, from nearly 12,000 years ago, of the presence of Paleo Indians in the Gainesville area, although it is not known if there were any steadfast settlements. A Deptford culture campsite existed in Gainesville and was estimated to have been used amongst 500 BCE and 100 CE. The Deptford people moved south into Paynes Prairie and Orange Lake during the first century and evolved into the Cades Pond culture. The Deptford people who remained in the Gainesville Place were displaced by migrants from southern Georgia sometime in the seventh century. These migrants evolved into the Alachua culture and they built their burial mound on top of the Deptford culture campsite. When Europeans made first entry in the area, the Potano lived in the area. They were descendants of the Alachua culture people. European right to use diminished the numbers of original peoples (through disease, enslavement, war) and Spanish colonists began cattle ranching in the Paynes Prairie area in the 18th century. The Spanish ceded Florida to the US in 1821.
