Before Wheelock Communities developed Starkey Ranch in 2013, the
property had a long history of preservation. Originally purchased by
Jay B. Starkey and the Cunningham brothers in 1937, the 16,000-acre
CS Ranch, cut by the Pithlachascotee and Anclote rivers, hosted cattle
and timber and citrus operations.
