Cypress is a subdivision in Palatka, the Putnam County seat set on the west bank of the St. Johns River where US 17 crosses into East Palatka. Palatka is a working river town with a brick downtown along the riverfront, the campus of St. Johns River State College, and neighborhoods that step back from the river into pine and oak hammocks. A subdivision named for the cypress trees of the river swamps fits that landscape, where single-family homes occupy lots shaded by the native canopy. Public schools are part of Putnam County School District. Beyond town, Ravine Gardens State Park cuts a deep, garden-planted ravine through the south side, and the river and its creeks offer boating and fishing in every direction.
