Active Retirement Communities

 State:     Florida

City:       Groveland

Groveland is a city in Lake County, Florida, United States. The population was 2,360 at the 2000 census. The Census Bureau estimated the population in 2008 to be 7,647.  It is located at the intersection of State Road 19 and State Road 33/50.

Groveland is part of the Orlando--Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area.

In 1949, Harry T. Moore, the executive director of the Florida NAACP, organized a campaign against the wrongful conviction of four African Americans for the rape of a white woman in Groveland. Two years later, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a new trial. Soon afterwards, Sheriff Willis V. McCall of Lake County, Florida, shot two of the men while in his custody. One was killed and other man was seriously wounded.

Moore demanded that the sheriff be indicted for murder and requested that the Governor suspend him from office. On December 25, 1951, a bomb exploded in Moore's house, killing him and his wife, Harriette.

Some alleged that Sheriff McCall was associated with ordering this bombing. However, an extensive FBI investigation at the time and additional separate investigations have failed to produce any evidence supporting the claim of McCall's involvement.

Although members of the Ku Klux Klan were suspected of the crime, the people responsible were never brought to trial.
