Centralia, Florida Sawmill. Centralia was a lumber town of about 1,500 to 2,000 people. It had one of the largest sawmills in the south. The town had a post office from 1910 to 1922. There was a railroad spur from brooksville that terminated here. There was a community on this spur called wiscon. Many of the mill workers lived here also. Like most company towns in florida, once the trees were all cut down the mill closed and everyone moved on. Its amazing that thousands of tourists a day travel right through this ghosttown and have no clue it ever existed.
