History

Evinston was part of the Arredondo Grant of 1817. In 1884, the station at this location of the Florida Southern Railroad was named "Evinston" and a general store/post office was built.

Until the 1890s, orange growing was important, but a freeze in 1895 ended this pursuit.

The community contains a site on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the Evinston Community Store and Post Office.
