Keystone Heights is located at the southern end of Clay County in Northeast Florida. Keystone Heights is a small town with a quaint downtown area, surrounded by numerous lakes, parks and recreational areas. Keystone Heights is a bedroom community for the cities of Jacksonville and Gainesville. The town was originally called Brooklyn, but was renamed in 1921 by J.J. Lawrence, of Pittsburgh, Pa. The Lawrence family settled here and renamed the town in honor of his home state, which is called the "Keystone State". Keystone Heights was incorporated in 1925.
In 1924, the famous Keystone Inn was opened, the Inn is located across from the Keystone Beach on South Lawrence Boulevard. In the late 1940's and early 1950's the Keystone Inn was the focal point of many social activities in the community.
The city of Keystone Heights is surrounded by lakes but most people don’t know that the lakes do not have a creek or stream to supply them with water. These lakes are referred to as “seepage lakes”. This seepage comes from what is known as the Surficial Aquifer. The Surficial Aquifer gets its water from the water table and from the pressurized waters from the Floridan Aquifer and the Intermediate Aquifer. The Floridan Aquifer is a portion of the principal artesian aquifer that extends into Florida from several states and is composed of carbonate rock and located beneath the coastal regions of the Southeastern United States.
The lakes in Keystone Heights are unique, they serve as a mechanism that acts as a recharger for the Florida Aquifer by capturing rainfall and slowly seeping down into the aquifer.
