Avon Park, in Highlands County, was first permanently settled by Oliver Martin Crosby, a Connecticut native who came in 1884 to study the wildlife of the Everglades. By 1886 enough people had followed that the Town of Lake Forest was founded.
As president of the Florida Development Company, Crosby recruited settlers, many of them from England, including the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, who gave the community its name. From 1927 to 1929 the St. Louis Cardinals held spring training at the newly built Cardinal Field, now Head Field, after Avon Park resident Charles R. Head persuaded his friend Sam Breadon, the team's owner, to bring the club there. The games drew large crowds. Sources Wikipedia: Avon Park, Florida
