Live Oak at a glance
What makes Live Oak different: Live Oak grew up as a railroad town on the Pensacola & Georgia Railroad (later the Seaboard/CSX mainline, now the Florida Gulf & Atlantic) and was the hub of the short-line Live Oak, Perry & Gulf Railroad; today its economy leans on agriculture-timber, pine straw and watermelons-plus the county hospital and Suwannee River eco-tourism at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.
