The County’s number one source of income is from cattle, followed by crops such as citrus, nuts, and berries.  Twelve thousand people live within the two thousand square mile county.  Lake Okeechobee is just a few miles away to the northeast from the county seat of Moore Haven.  The Lake is a fisherman’s paradise and is noted for its large mouth bass.  Glades County celebrates the fish every March with its Chalo Nitka (Large Mouth Bass) Festival.
