Ocala calls itself the Horse Capital of the World, with more than 1,200 horse farms across Marion County and the World Equestrian Center on its west side. It is also known for clear springs like Silver Springs and Rainbow Springs, the Ocala National Forest, and a walkable brick downtown square.
Ocala became the seat of newly formed Marion County in 1846. A fire destroyed most of the town center on Thanksgiving Day 1883, and the town rebuilt in brick, which gave it the nickname Brick City. Glass bottom boat rides at nearby Silver Springs date to the late 1870s, making it the oldest commercial tourist attraction in Florida. Ocala mixes horse farm families, retirees in large 55+ and golf communities, and a younger crowd that fills the bars and restaurants around the downtown square. Daily life runs on I-75 and SR 200, with springs, trails and horse shows close by.
