Community Description
Short Description: Chiefland, the "Gem of the Suwannee Valley", is centered between Tallahassee and Orlando, where Alternate 27 merges with US-19/98.

The commercial hub of the Tri-County area, (Levy, Gilchrist & Dixie Counties), the community is located near the historical Suwannee River and Manatee Springs State Park.
