Starke, County seat in north central Florida, United States
Starke spans across the central area of Bradford County with residential neighborhoods extending from the historic downtown district to the eastern commercial zones.
The city experienced substantial development after becoming a crucial stop on Florida's first railroad line connecting Fernandina to Cedar Key in the 1800s.
