Eustis, in Lake County, is one of several county towns founded in the 1870s as settlers moved south into the Florida frontier. It is named for Colonel Abraham Eustis, an Army officer in the Seminole Wars who skirmished along the south shore of what is now Lake Eustis, near Tavares.
The government opened the region to homesteading in the 1850s, but the Civil War delayed settlement. Surveying was completed in 1875, and by 1876 A. S. Pendry had homesteaded on the east shore of Lake Eustis and planted a citrus grove. In 1877 he opened the Ocklawaha Hotel, with a post office in its lobby named Pendryville. By 1879 the settlement was called Lake Eustis, and then simply Eustis. In 1880 the St. Johns and Lake Eustis Railway reached Fort Mason, north of town, where passengers transferred to lake steamers bound for Leesburg, Tavares and other towns, and Eustis grew quickly with stores, schools, a bank and churches. Clifford and Smith built the first general store building in 1881, and in 1883 residents incorporated the City of Eustis, with D. W. Herrick as first mayor. Sources Wikipedia: Eustis, Florida
