Micanopy, Administrative town in North Central Florida, US.
Micanopy extends over 1.03 square miles between Gainesville and Ocala, featuring structures from the 19th century and large oak trees throughout its streets.
The settlement became the first United States town in Florida Territory after 1821, following earlier inhabitation by Timucua natives and Spanish exploration in 1539.
The Micanopy Historical Society Museum presents exhibits about Native Americans, the Seminole Wars, and the development of this Florida interior community.
The town contains essential services including a post office, fire station, and library, while Gainesville Regional Airport lies 12.7 miles from the center.
Moses Elias Levy established 'Pilgrimage' near Micanopy, marking the first Jewish communal settlement in the United States.
