The city of Altamonte Springs was
originally known as Snow Station, a
stop on the South Florida Railroad. In
1882, a group of Boston millionaires
provided the Altamonte Land, Hotel
and Navigation Company the money
to buy 1200 acres in the area; the
name comes from the Spanish words
for "high hill."
In 1883, the Company built The
Altamonte Hotel. The hotel was a
grand hotel for wealthy winter visitors
that boasted 130 rooms, 49 fireplaces,
and 500 feet of verandas. Cool and
pure water was piped to the hotel from
the springs in a nearby lake.
In 1887, the U.S. Post Office granted
the name change to Altamonte Springs.
And, some 33 years later, it was
incorporated as a town in 1920.
The hotel continued to cater to its
wealthy winter guests until it burned
down in 1953. Fifty firemen from
seven communities fought the fire for
22 hours but could not save the hotel.
Today, the city is home to over forty
one thousand residents.

The first known permanent settlers in
the Orange City area were Louis and
Mary Ann Thursby. The Thursby's
moved to the area in the early 1850's
after they purchased a cabin on 133
acres from a nurseryman who spent
the winters with his family in the area
and the rest of the year in New York.
But Orange City was not founded until
1874 when Dr. Seth French and a
group of settlers from Wisconsin came
to the area and purchased a few
thousand acres of land in the area.
Some years later, Dr. French was
appointed Florida's first Commissioner
of Immigration.
The Orange City area settlement
became well established shortly
thereafter; some of the women began a
book exchange that would become the
library, the residents organized the
Orange City Methodist Church, and
then founded the first public school in
Volusia County.
Orange City was named for the
thousands of acres of orange groves
planted in and around the city. Today,
it has a population of over ten
thousand.
