More about Fruitland Park
In 1875 the state sent Captain Kendricks north to promote Florida, and Major Orlando P. Rooks, in poor health and already considering a move, came with his wife, Josephine; they built their first home on Crystal Lake in 1877. Rooks named the town Fruitland Park after the Fruitland Nurseries of Augusta, Georgia, owned by his friend J. P. Berckmann, and named the main street Berckmann Street. Because Florida already had a Fruitland, postal authorities refused the name and in 1884 renamed the town Gardenia, though the railroad built through just before had already listed it as Fruitland Park.
