Probably what is known as Karst Terrain. It basically comprises limestone over an aquifer. Sinkholes occur when acid within water penetrating the limestone dissolves it. As the above poster noted most of The Villages was cow pasture although it started as a trailer park in a watermelon patch. Here is an excellent discussion of central Florida geology. http://www.dot.state.fl.us/geotechni...evaluation.pdf
