Spuds, Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spuds is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County, Florida, United States. The name is appropriate, as it lies in a region that depends economically on potato growing and other agriculture. As well as potatoes, the land around Spuds provides gladioli.[1][2] A camp for German prisoners of war was built in Spuds during WWII, close to the intersection between State Roads 206 and 207.[3]

A Florida East Coast Railway line used to run through Spuds from St. Augustine to Hastings, with a stop also called Spuds.[5]
