===Indigenous habitation and colonization=== |

Before European [[colonization]] and [[Settler colonialism|settlement]], the area which is today Minneola was originally inhabited by the indigenous [[Timucua|Timucua people]]. The population of the Timucua were whittled by [[epidemic]]s of infectious diseases introduced by Europeans, then by attacks and [[slave raids]] largely conducted under [[Spanish Florida|Spanish colonial rule]].{{cite book |last1=Bloodsworth |first1=Doris |title=Clermont: From Gem of the Hills to Choice of Champions |date=2019 |publisher=Cooper Memorial Library Association |isbn=9780998186306 |location=Clermont, FL, USA |page=5}} |

After the collapse of Timucua society, the indigenous [[Seminole]] people came to inhabit the region. In 1819, Florida was acquired by the United States from Spain with the [[Adams–Onís Treaty]]. Four years later, the area of modern-day Minneola became a part of an [[Indian reservation]] under the [[Treaty of Moultrie Creek]].{{Cite book |last=Missall |first=John |title=The Seminoles wars: America's longest Indian conflict |last2=Missall |first2=Mary Lou |date=2004 |publisher=University press of Florida |isbn=978-0-8130-2715-9 |series=The Florida history and culture series |location=Gainesville}} The Seminole were ultimately [[Ethnic cleansing|ethnically cleansed]]{{Cite book |last=Anderson |first=Gary Clayton |title=Ethnic cleansing and the Indian: the crime that should haunt America |date=2014 |publisher=University of Oklahoma Press |isbn=978-0-8061-4508-2 |location=Norman}} by federal troops in the [[Seminole Wars]] or driven out on the [[Trail of Tears]].
