(Florida)
Conant is a ghost town in Lake County, Florida stretching from the area of Lady Lake, Florida to north of the Marion County, Florida line. It was established in 1884 on what was then the Florida Southern Railroad, and it was named for Sherman Conant. It was a "real estate town" developed by the Hollingshead Firm. During the Great Freeze, crops died and the town experienced wildfires, forcing many members of the community to relocate. By 1919, it was merely a ghost town.
