Lake Mary was originally known as
Bents, a station on the South Florida
Railroad.
The name became attached to the area
after 1894, when the Rev. J.F. Sundell
built a house on the north shore of the
lake which he named after his wife
"Mary."
Sundell's religious influence in the area
seems to have been considerable. A
congregation was organized as part of
the Presbytery Church of Lakeland
and Sundell served as the pastor of the
congregation for 10 years. Rev.
Sundell is buried at the Lake Mary
Cemetery.
The first subdivision in the area, platted
in 1916, was called Modern
Woodman's Winter Homes. Four
years later this subdivision was
replatted under the name Crystal Lake
Winter Homes. And due in no small
part to the efforts of the local Chamber
of Commerce and the Lake Mary
Tourist Club, many New England
families were attracted to the area.
Lake Mary was incorporated as a city
in 1973 and today, it has a population
of over fifteen thousand residents.

Longwood was named by one of its
early settlers, Edward Warren Henck,
who arrived in Florida by steamboat in
the 1870's. Henck named the area
after a suburb in Boston which he had
previously helped plat as a young
engineer. Interestingly, the Boston
suburb was named after the district on
the island of Saint Helena where
Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled from
1815 to his death in 1821.
Henck was instrumental in the area's
development. He was the first
postmaster of the local Post Office
which was established in 1876. Henck
also led the charge in the construction
of the railroad that connected Sanford
to Orlando and which first ran in 1880.
Henck was elected as the city's first
mayor in 1885. His 38 room
Longwood Hotel, which was
constructed by Joseph Clouser, was
completed in 1886. The hotel, which
was also known as the Longwood
Village Inn, was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Longwood was incorporated as a city
in 1923 and today, it has a population
of over thirteen thousand residents.
