The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The City of Archer started in the 1840s as a settler community named both Deer Hammock or Darden's Hammock. Archer was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1850. The first trains stopped in Archer in 1859. The Florida Railroad reached the community in 1858, which shifted the site of the city eastward. At this point the city was renamed Archer, after James T. Archer, the first Florida Secretary of State.
