Although Lake Mary’s beginning
dates back to the 19th century, it did not become an incorporated
city until August 7, 1973.Named after the wife of a minister
who settled on the northern shores of the lake, Lake Mary
started as a village of two tiny settlements, Bent's Station
and Belle Fontaine, located along the railroad that ran between
Sanford and Orlando. The Lake Mary Chamber of Commerce was
established in January of 1923. The Chamber has been active
continuously since its inception and is said to be the oldest
one in the state with this distinction.
The City began primarily as a citrus-based agricultural community.
In the early seventies, as the Disney development surge pushed
northward, Lake Mary began to transform into a semi- rural
bedroom community serving Orlando. During the late eighties
and early nineties the city experienced tremendous growth
in residential development as well as economic development
center with hundreds of thousands of square feet of office,
retail and industrial uses. |
