About Madison

Madison is the Madison County seat on Florida's northern border, founded on land secured from Madison C. Livingston in 1838 after the county seat moved from San Pedro. U.S. 90 runs through the center, tying the courthouse town west toward Tallahassee and east toward Lake City. Cotton, tobacco, livestock, and later conservation all appear in the county's story. Madison is a North Florida place where a county seat, a long highway, and an older plantation landscape share the same grid.
