Have you ever wondered what the smallest towns in a state were like? Well wonder no more as I have traveled all around Florida to visit the 10 smallest incorporated towns. I have done several other states like this and Florida's was definitely the most unusual so far. There are traditional small towns, super elite places, beach communities, and even theme parks! It was a lot of fun finding these towns and learning about the histories of each one - hope you enjoy it too!

Well done. I appreciate the “cut to the chase” approach. You get right to it, provide interesting facts, and drone footage is a plus.
-
My family was one of the founders of Horseshoe bch. It was built on commercial fishing. Now it's a tourist spot. We go back 8 generations here.
-
My family has been in Bascom area for about 200 years. You showed 2 of their headstones. Thanks for visiting. Gotta get back out there soon.
-
The town of Ochopee, FL (unincorporated) has a population of 8. It has the USA’s smallest United States Post Office
-
FL is a strange state. The further north you travel, the more southern you get.
-
Thanks for this video… My grandparents are buried at the Methodist Church In Bascom. My grandmother was from Two Egg as well. I haven’t been up that way in years and your video brought back great memories. Thanks
-
Wow incredible video! I can't believe you don't have a million subscribers - this is fascinating. Thank you for the time, effort, and money it took to make this video.
-
Outstanding! Smallest towns always interesting. Fla. Is keeps showing it unique ness through your viedo adventures John. The oceans view and beaches where a treat. The tree was a beautiful piece of nature on display. Thankful for your uniqueness in seeing beauty of our world.

Otter Creek that's my home town, I love it here
-
The more southern you travel the more northern you get. During the rainy season much of the charm returns and it's pretty chill here. You can get a seat in a restaurant without a long wait. During snowbird season the northern mentality returns with all the rush, loud rudeness & sucky driving that a fast paced life seems to breed. Not all are a%@holes but enough are to change the whole vibe of an otherwise great place to live.
-
I owned a farm in Bascom during covid until last year...crazy you found that place.
-
I like the sound of Otter Creek. It's a little north of us in Citrus county. I've been here since 1983 and it's just growing too fast. I need more quiet. Definately going to take a ride.
-
Groovy small town documentary. I live in Florida and I had never heard of any of these places except Marineland which like you I visited with my parents when I was a kid.
-
morning coffee with the wiseguy, great stuff brother as usual, safe travels
-
Great stuff, highly recommend the 2 vol set, Visting Small Town Florida
-
I like the older more secluded towns myself. Good to see you! I was absent for awhile and missed a lot. (No, I was not in jail). So I'm catching up. A few of my fellow Nebraska friends live there now and this video is likely the most I'll ever see of it. Thanks for the tour.
-
What a nice surprise to see Cloud Lake in here! That's my neck of the woods. Great video, thank you.
-
If I may add, Marine Land was taken over by the university of Florida as a research facility about 2010, It does offer tours of the marine life that is studied there for the Biology Dept of the school.
-
While pastoring in Levi county, I had many precious church members from outer Creek. May they rest in peace
-
thank you for taking us with you on your travels
