Ozona

Founded as a gulf-front fishing village and located west of Alt US 19 (just south of Crystal Beach), this community was first called Yellow Bluff for a high mound of yellow sand visible from the bay.

The name was changed to “Ozona” because of the invigorating gulf breezes. Ozona, older than Palm Harbor, has its own Post Office and Elementary School. A focal point of Ozona is the Ozona Village Hall. Built in 1900, with money raised primarily from bake sales, the Hall was and still is the social and political center of Ozona.
