Port Orange
|
 
While waiting for his army
discharge after the Civil War, John Milton Hawks teamed with
a couple of other officers with a scheme to colonize in
Florida with black freedmen. Under a homestead act
specifically designed for them, they attempted to colonize
on an 1804 Spanish land grant along the Halifax River north
of Spruce Creek. He named the colony Port Orange.
Unfortunately, due to faulty planning and harsh living
conditions, of nearly 1600 settlers recruited in 1865 - only
9 remained on the land in 1868. Still some stayed and others
arrived and there was slow but steady growth from 1870 until
1913 when it was incorporated as a town. Boat building,
citrus farming, oystering and fishing sustained the town.
Named a city in 1925 the population only grew to 3800 by
1970 and in the year 2000, over 50,000. This growth is due
to one of the strongest residential and commercial markets
in the county.
The approximately 25 square miles of Port Orange spans a
multitude of housing and commercial levels. From affordable
housing to apartments, townhomes, condominiums and upscale
luxury developments, the choice is as broad as the demand.
Port Orange's aggressive commercial and industrial
development policies have resulted in broad shopping and
professional facilities along the major roadways with quiet,
easy commute neighborhoods away from the bustle.
