A coach road connecting Tampa Bay with the settlement at Chocochattee Hammock near present-day Brooksville gave Stagecoach Village its name. About 1 1/2 miles west of here, the route was sometimes called Scott's Trail because the U.S. Army cleared it under Gen. Winfield Scott during the Second Seminole War. At this spot, an old Indian trail ran parallel to the coach road. An archeological examination by Janus research, commissioned by Lennar Homes, revealed two prehistoric campsites in this vicinity, one datable between the seventh and fifteenth centuries. About 1850, the Concord Stagecoach Line began regular passenger service, and a relay station known as 26-Mile House, so named because it was 26 miles south of Chocochatte, was located in this vicinity. Stagecoach service was suspended during the Third Seminole War in 1856 but resumed afterward and continued through the War Between The States. Near the end of the 19th century, railroads supplanted stagecoach travel.
