Discover Astor
Astor, on the west bank of the St. Johns River between Lake George and Lake Dexter, lies in country of the Timucua and Mayaca. A local marker says a French Huguenot colony was founded here in 1562 and wiped out by the Spanish, and in 1765 the naturalist William Bartram explored the area, calling it an Eden. An English trading post was attempted in 1763, and in 1822 Jewish immigrant Moses Elias Levy started a plantation of sugarcane and oranges. During the Seminole Wars the Army built Fort Butler by 1838 to guard the river. Each of these early efforts failed, and the area was largely empty until the 1870s.
More about Astor
In 1874 William Backhouse Astor Jr. of New York's wealthy Astor family bought more than 12,000 acres and began a town he called Manhattan. Settlers arrived by steamboat to find a church, schoolhouse, botanical garden and free cemetery, and Astor built a hotel, a sawmill and the St. Johns and Lake Eustis Railway toward Eustis and Leesburg. A satellite community, Astor Park, grew up on Lake Schimmerhorn, named for his wife, Caroline Schermerhorn Astor. The Manhattan name never caught on, and after Astor died in 1892 the town was officially renamed Astor in his honor.
