The Spanish missionaries first visited the Lake Weir region around 1600, the Timucuan Indians occupied Marion County. The diseases carried by the Europeans decimated the local tribes by mid Around 1700, the Creek Indians were forced into Florida by the Bri sh and swi ly became known as the Seminoles. Many Seminoles se led in the Lake Weir area where they farmed and raised livestock. The Seminoles named this area Amask Kehegan meaning Bright Moon Lake. In the 1800 s, the lake was named in honor of U.S. Army Lieutenant Weir, who was killed near the lake s banks by the Seminole Indians in the early 1800 s. In 1875, Captain John L. Carney and his brother E.L. Carney purchased the land now known as Carney Island. They developed a 25 acre orange grove, which later grew in size. The Carney s were responsible for propaga ng several new varie es of citrus, including the Parson Brown variety. For most of the last century, the area surrounding the Carney groves flourished as a citrus producing region. The citrus was shipped by steamboat from a packinghouse on the east shore of the property across Lake Weir to the railroad. Pilings s ll exist on the property today from this packinghouse. A hard freeze in 1894 wiped out the citrus trees around Lake Weir. Most groves were re established, and citrus groves have remained an important agricultural industry in Florida. Over the years, several fruit growing companies had interest in the Carney Island property, and it was eventually acquired by the Coca Cola Company in 1960 when they purchased the Minute Maid Corpora on. In 1990, officials with Coca Cola sold the Carney Island property to Marion County. The Marion County Planning Dept. has indicated that this 89 acre lakefront property could be sub divided to accommodate 40+ large high end homes on 2 acre lots by qualifying for a PUD and mee ng the requirements as to water, sewer, etc. The owners prefer the property stays private to be enjoyed by a person loving solitude as their families have done but realize they have no control over what a buyer might do following purchase of the property.
