Inverness

Inverness is a city in Citrus County, Florida, where residential neighborhoods blend with small commercial areas and green spaces. The downtown core features traditional brick buildings and tree-lined streets that give the place a small-town character.

The settlement was founded in 1868 as Tompkinsville before Scottish immigrants renamed it to reflect their homeland. The new name stuck because of the geographic similarities those settlers noticed in the landscape.

The Valerie Theatre in downtown serves as a gathering place where residents and visitors attend theater shows, concerts, and local events together. It functions as a social hub that brings the community together throughout the year.

Visitors find typical small-town amenities such as restaurants, shops, and public spaces for relaxing and walking. The flat terrain and compact layout make it easy to explore on foot without needing transportation.

The city serves as the administrative center for the county, making it the hub for local government services and decisions affecting the wider region. This role shapes how the community operates and grows.
