Century for years has misused town funds and not paid utilities that we as residents have had to pay and then turn around and want us to pay for it. UNACCEPTABLE!! PEOPLE OF CENTURY RISE UP. Go to your state representatives and demand change, otherwise the same crooked incompetent people are going to continue running Century to the ground.

Been asking that question for years. The first thing they need is a binding referendum on whether Century should remain a city or return to county rule. Current Florida law requires a minimum population of 5,000 residents before an area can incorporate as a city partly due to the number of small rural cities that were failing. The population of century, according to census information, has never reached 2000. Century was so named around 1901 and did not incorporate until 1979. @SW. Been asking that question for years.
