According to
Wikipedia: "Switzerland, Florida is a unincorporated community in St. Johns County, Florida, adjacent to Fruit Cove. The approximate population of Switzerland is 18,063. Switzerland is situated on the eastern bank of the St. Johns River, across from Green Cove Springs and Middleburg in Clay County, and is south of Jacksonville, Florida (Duval County)."
Switzerland got its name from the New Switzerland Plantation that was located here in the late 1700s until 1812 when the plantation buildings were destroyed during the East Florida patriot revolt in 1812.
