Narcoossee is an unincorporated community in eastern Osceola County, Florida, United States. It is located on the east side of East Lake Tohopekaliga. The only major road which runs through Narcoossee is County Road 15, commonly referred to as Narcoossee Road, which connects to U.S. Route 192. Every March, the community holds the annual Battle at Narcoossee Mill, which is a Civil War reenactment. HistoryNarcoossee began in the late 19th century as a settlement by E. Nelson Fell, on a huge tract of land on the shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga. The town name is derived from the Creek Indian word for "little bear." English settlers began to arrive in 1883, drawn by newspaper advertisements extolling the virtues of the area and its citrus groves, promising an annual income of $10,000 once the groves matured. In 1888 the St. Cloud & Sugar Belt Railway (later renamed the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad) came through the town area, expanding the citrus shipping possibilities and improving the local economy. The Saint Luke And Saint Peter Church was opened in 1898. In 1910, Fell acquired title to {{convert|144|sqmi|km2|sigfig=2}} in Indian River County, founded the town of Fellsmere, and took many of the Narcoossee settlers with him. The community disbanded, leaving only a handful of residents. In 1930 the church was dismantled and moved to St. Cloud. The heart of the town rests at the blinking light which is the intersection of Jones Road and Highway 15, also known as Narcoossee Road. Narcoossee is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area. {{coord|28|18|N|81|14|W|type:city_region:US-FL_source:GNIS-enwiki|display=title}}{{Osceola County, Florida}}{{OsceolaCountyFL-geo-stub}} 3 : Unincorporated communities in Osceola County, Florida|Greater Orlando|Unincorporated communities in Florida |
