Wheres' Waverly, Florida?

The small district of Waverly is one of the original districts of the producers of citrus products. Early history of Waverly tells of the times Rough and Ready, Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States traveled through Waverly while chasing Seminole Indians throughout the wilderness of Florida during the 1830's' The community was started by the Indians and the crossing place attracted scouts, hunters, lumbermen, pioneers, homesteaders, cattlemen and cowboys. The book tells about how Waverly accomplished being considered a community and establishing its name; at first the early setters wanted to name it Buffalo after the small road that Zachery Taylor and his troops made; a washboard road made out of pine trees to cross. It was called Buffalo Ford. The Department of the Post Office in Florida said no, because they already had a road in Florida named Buffalo Bluff
