Hernando, Florida, is often confused with Hernando County, Florida, which is about 20 miles to the south. Hernando was a city until the seventies, when the town decided to disband its local government and become an unincorporated area. These zones are called census-designated places because even though they are not official cities or towns, they have to be included in the census count.
Hernando's population was 9,054 as of the 2010 census. It is 35.4 square miles on Lake Henderson, which is part of a large system of marshlands, islands, and cypress swamps. The area boasts world-class bass fishing, boating, and water sports. There is so much space available on this expansive waterway that you can easily have several square miles all to yourself. Enjoy country living surrounded by wildlife in a comfortable area with mild winters and endless outdoor activities. View Hernando City Guide
