Kicco, Florida Ghost Town

You’ll discover Kicco’s remnants along the Kissimmee River in East Polk County, Florida, where a bustling cattle company town once thrived. Founded in 1915 by the Kissimmee Island Cattle Company, this settlement supported 250 workers and their families with a general store, windmill-powered water tower, and schoolhouse. Though economic shifts and transportation changes led to its decline in the 1930s, concrete foundations and old sidewalks still whisper stories of Florida’s ranching heritage.
