Archer is a small town in Alachua, County, Florida with a population of 1,104. Archer started in the 1840s as a frontier village named Deer Hammock or Darden’s Hammock.

The Florida Railroad reached the village in 1858 which shifted the site of the town eastward. The city was renamed Archer, after James T. Archer, Florida's first secretary of state. Visitors can explore the Archer Railroad Museum to learn the story of the golden age of North Florida’s railroad industry and railroad towns.

Archer was an important railroad town from the end of the Civil War through the 1930s. Early rail lines opened Archer and much of North Florida to development. When the railroad arrived in the 1860s, Archer area farmers expanded their acreage and grew prosperous moving loads of sugar cane, cotton, sweet potatoes, produce, and oranges into Archer. Archer grew into a bustling center of commerce and industry, selling goods and services to farmers, the railroad, and railroad passengers and workers.

A recent famous person who lived in Archer was guitarist Bo Diddley. After 1978, Bo Diddley spent most of his time off-stage between Los Lunas, New Mexico and Florida, living out his last 13 years in Archer.

The economy around Archer is still somewhat based on agriculture, although many people who live there work in nearby Gainesville.
