Dade City, officially the City of Dade City, is a city in and the county seat of Pasco County, Florida,[4] United States. It is located in the Tampa Bay Area, north east of Tampa and south west of Orlando. The population was 7,275 as of the 2020 census. The current Mayor of Dade City is Scott Black.
The city was named after U.S. Army Major Francis L. Dade who was killed alongside most of the men he led from Fort Brooke (present-day Tampa) to Fort King (present-day Ocala) in the Dade Battle, which marked the beginning of the Second Seminole War.
The gently rolling hills of eastern Pasco County give way to this quintessential Southern small town that is known and beloved by many for its slow-paced, "Old Florida" ambience.
