More about Arcadia
In 1886 the Florida Southern Railway, later the Atlantic Coast Line, was built through Arcadia from Bartow to Punta Gorda, and the town grew enough to be incorporated the next year. A second line, the Charlotte Harbor and Northern, later the Seaboard Air Line, was built through from 1907 to 1910, and the East and West Coast Railway linked Arcadia with Bradenton from 1915 to 1934.
In the late 19th century Arcadia was the seat of a DeSoto County that later became several counties. Legislation in 1921 kept Arcadia as the seat of DeSoto and split off the new counties of Charlotte, Hardee, Glades and Highlands. Arcadia's historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
