This geocache is part of a series featuring the historic sites in Charlotte County.
Bermont was established where State Roads 74 and 31 now intersect soon after the area was opened to homesteading in 1905. The town had about 150 homes, 2 stores, post office (operating from 1908-1942), saw mill, turpentine still and a school. Bermont had a Literary Society, Horticulture Club, Debating Club, a string-instrument ensemble, and a baseball team. For a short time there was a little weekly newspaper, the Bermont Pioneer. Dr. J.G. Stephens provided medical care. Bermont and nearby town of Sparkman started their decline after World War I and were gone by 1942.
