The town of Alachua is 15 miles northwest of Gainesville, Florida. Newnansville was at one time the county seat of Alachua County. Its viability was the railroad which ran through the town. The rail company moved the line south into the settlement of Alachua and Newnansville became a ghost town. Newnansville is present day only a cemetery.
