College Park (Images of America) Kindle Edition
by
Tana Mosier Porter
(Author),
The College Park Neighborhood Association
(Contributor)
Format: Kindle Edition
College Park has the look and feel of small-town America, with its central business district and tree-lined residential streets, schools and churches, and strong sense of community. College Park, though, was never a town; it developed as a neighborhood within the city of Orlando. The name originated not with a college but instead with a developer, who gave the streets in his new subdivision college names in 1921. In 1925, another developer named the first of several subdivisions College Park. The name caught on and became official with the naming of the College Park Post Office in 1954. Images of America: College Park commemorates 90 years of its history and community. From the 19th-century citrus groves, to new subdivisions in the 1920s, to tract housing in the 1940s and 1950s, College Park evolved as a desirable place for families.

I purchased this book for my husband who grew up in Winter Park. He thoroughly enjoys this book. He reminisces about the "good old days". Carole Allen
