The Island of Geneva

The northeast part of Seminole County is considered the “Island” of Geneva because it is totally surrounded by the waters of beautiful lakes and rivers, such as “American Heritage River” the St.Johns; a “Florida Outstanding Waterway” the Econlockhatchee; Lake Jesup; Lake Harney; and Salt Creek.  In the past when Salt Creek which runs between Geneva and Oviedo, was high, the citizens were totally cut off from the neighboring communities, thus an "island".  Old flyers advertizing Geneva land for sale called it "The Beautiful Island of Geneva".

The Village of Geneva.

The Village of Geneva has been a strong and thriving community for over a hundred and fifty years.  Geneva has eight active places of worship, the Geneva Elementary School, a Community Center, Museum, two cemeteries, a few local stores and gas stations, 6 parks & wilderness areas, and a community of people known for working together to better themselves and their families.  Visit Geneva, attend the annual Fourth of July parade; go to the Bluegrass Jam, the Museum of Geneva History, the Yarborough Nature Center; or hike on our many hiking trails.
