What we Like About Gainesville

When someone says Gainesville, your response is probably “Go Gators!” Even though the city is home to Florida’s oldest and largest university, there’s more to it. The college town energy meets amazing scenic views, trails, state parks—not to mention museums, music and amazing food. That’s why they call it the place “where nature and culture meet” after all. 

Here are some of our favorite things about Gainesville, let’s go Gators!

History

Gainesville wasn’t always the college town it is today. It experienced war, exploration and growth since the 16th century when Spanish explorers invaded the region. In 1821 Spain ceded the area back to the United States.

Gainesville played a part in the Civil War, was the site of two battles, and a Confederate Commissary. After Reconstruction, Gainesville became a center for cotton and vegetable crops.

There were two fires that damaged the city in the 1880s, but Gainesville wasn’t afraid of a little heat. Townsfolk rebuilt and the city became better than ever. In 1905, the University of Florida moved into town, and soon became a major part of Gainesville’s economy.

In the 1860s, there were about 232 residents in Gainesville. Now there are over 141,085—that’s a big difference.  

Education

The list of colleges and universities in Gainesville is short, but it is home to one of Florida’s top colleges, University of Florida. In Fall 2020, UF enrolled almost 58,000 students, and that number grows every semester. Gainesville is also home to Santa Fe College and City College – Gainesville Campus.

Sports/Gators

You probably knew this already, but there are no professional sports teams in the Gainesville area—good thing University of Florida is known for their athletics.

UF athletics have gained a reputation. Florida won the NCAA baseball title in 2017, becoming the sixth Division I program to win a national title in men’s basketball, baseball and football. The Gators have won 21 national team titles since the 2008-2009 season. In terms of national titles, UF ranks fourth in the nation with 15 Gator teams claiming titles.

These athletes aren’t just at the top of their game on the field, but also in the classroom. Since 1992, UF student-athletes have earned a total of 121 Academic All-America honors.

Culture and arts

There’s a reason why Gainesville has “culture” in its nickname. Here, you’ll find art, museums, theater and history to spare. Stop in Black C Production to experience interactive visual and performing arts that you won’t believe. You don’t want to miss the Gainesville Fine Arts Association, Harn Museum of Art, or one of the oldest artist cooperatives in the country, Artisans’ Guild Gallery.

You could spend a whole day in the Florida Museum of Natural History. Learn from engaging exhibits and experience the Butterfly Rainforest to get an up-close look at hundreds of butterflies and birds.

But there’s even more. Here’s a list of more fun things to do while you’re in Gainesville.

We can’t forget the outdoor attractions either. If you want to swim, fish, hike or bike there’s plenty of space at the many state parks in Gainesville. Check out O’Leno State Park, Santa Fe Canoe Outpost or Sweetwater Wetlands Park for some outdoor adventure! Don’t forget your kayaks or canoes! Gainesville offers a variety of paddling trails. Check out our kayak storage blog to keep your watercraft safe while you’re not on the water!  

Food

One of the great things about a college town is that students love to eat. So, there has to be some great places to grab some grub! Gainesville is no exception. They have everything—Asian, Italian, Latin, fine-dining and even gourmet donuts. We hope you came hungry.

Sit down and enjoy a fine-dining experience at Embers Wood Grill, or a casual night at Gainesville’s famous Satchel’s Pizza. Grab some sweets to go at Halo Potato Donuts, or a cup of joe from Wyatt’s Coffee. If you’re craving some international cuisine, check out Crane Ramen or Dragonfly Sushi and Sake Company.

For those on a smaller budget (a.k.a. college students), check out some of these off-campus hot-spots: The Top in Downtown Gainesville, Harry’s Seafood for some fresh fish, or Keke’s Breakfast Café for some early morning fuel!
