A historic town on U.S. 90
Wellborn was established in 1860 and still has many historic homes and stores from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Family farms and orchards have surrounded it for generations, and County Roads 137 and 250 connect it to the farmland around it. It sits right between Lake City and Live Oak on U.S. 90, so families here often split their errands and appointments between both towns.
That in-between location is an advantage. Caregivers can reach Wellborn in about 20 minutes from Lake City, and drive clients either direction on U.S. 90 for groceries, church or doctor visits.
