Rosewood Historic Marker Located in Cedar Key, Florida, the Rosewood Historic Marker stands as a solemn tribute to the once-thriving community of Rosewood and the tragic events that unfolded there in January 1923. Established around 1855, Rosewood was a vibrant settlement in Levy County, flourishing due to its strategic location on a road leading to the Gulf of Mexico and the presence of abundant red cedar trees. The community thrived with the establishment of a Florida Railroad depot, facilitating the transport of cedar wood to a pencil factory in Cedar Key, along with timber, turpentine rosin, citrus, vegetables, and cotton.
