Baker County, Administrative county in North Florida, United States
Baker County spans 589 square miles of land characterized by pine flatwoods, cypress swamps, and the meandering St. Mary's River along its eastern border.
The county was established in 1861 and named after James McNair Baker, becoming the location of the Battle of Olustee during the Civil War in 1864.
The Emily Taber Public Library, housed in the 1908 Old Baker County Courthouse, provides educational resources and community programs for county residents.
Interstate 10 and US Highway 90 serve as primary transportation routes through Baker County, connecting the region to Jacksonville and other major Florida cities.
The northern section of Baker County incorporates part of the Okefenokee Swamp, creating a natural boundary with neighboring Georgia.
