History
The name is derived from the Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins in nearby Homosassa.
The settlement was platted in 1972 by community developer Jim Sanders, with a concept of six villages: Cypress, Oak, Pinewood, Palm, Orange, and Meadow Run — each with its own village center. 24,000 lots were planned. The first nine holes of Sugarmill Woods Country Club's golf course, two tennis courts, and a swimming pool were completed in 1975. In 2023, Scott Yates took over the Sugarmill Woods Country Club golf course to restore it.
