Spuds is an unincorporated community in St. Johns County, Florida, United States. The community is situated in a region that depends economically on potato growing and other agriculture. As well as potatoes, the land around Spuds provides gladioli.[1][2] A camp for German prisoners of war was built in Spuds during World War II, close to the intersection between State Roads 206 and 207.[3]
