Central Florida Community College
Central Florida Junior College was established in 1957 as a comprehensive, public, community junior college serving the state of Florida and, specifically, the counties of Citrus, Levy and Marion. Instruction began in the fall of 1958 to a group of 320 students in temporary facilities at the Marion County Vocational School. Central Florida Junior College and Hampton Junior College merged on July 1, 1966. Opened in the fall of 1958, Hampton Junior College was one of the first black, two-year colleges in the state.
To accurately reflect the character and purpose of the college, its name was changed to Central Florida Community College on July 1, 1971.
The Ocala Campus was established on a 60-acre tract of land donated by the Atlantic Realty and Investment Company and the City of Ocala. The attractive, wooded complex is located on State Road 200, west of downtown Ocala and east of Interstate Highway 75.
In 1974, another 60-acre tract adjacent to the western edge of the campus was added. In 1994, a 20-acre site adjacent to the southern edge of the campus was obtained from the Marion County School Board, and the CFCC Foundation, Inc., purchased a 17-acre tract immediately north of the campus to provide a college residence facility (College Square), and to allow for future expansion.
In 1995, renovation began on the vacated College Park Elementary School on land adjoining the eastern side of the campus. Later that year, the Public Service Division and Criminal Justice Institute were moved to the newly-renovated buildings in 1996, several Health and Human Services Division programs, along with college support operations, relocated to this site. The CFCC University Center opened in 2002; and the Enterprise Center and the Ewers Century Center opened in 2004 (see map).
The Bronson Center in Levy County opened in January 1982 on a 20-acre site a mile and a quarter east of Bronson on Alternate U.S. Highway 27.
The Levy County Center was relocated in November 1993 to Chiefland.
The Citrus County Campus opened in the fall of 1984 at the Lecanto Joint Use Facility. A new free-standing campus opened in the fall of 1996, located on 88 acres in Lecanto in central Citrus County. With continuing growth, the college is able to offer a variety of courses to students in Citrus County.
CFCC’s Hampton Center opened in 1996 at the site of the former Florida State Fire College in west Ocala, and was completely rebuilt and reopened in 2004.
