Owned by The old This community was established as a farming community (citrus groves and pine timberland). The groves were frozen out in the great freezes of 1894-95 and the depletion of the virgin reserve stands of yellow pine timber more than anything contributed to the demise of the community. By 1919 only a handful of people remained. WELAKA QUAD N 29o 25.334 W 81o 43.774. (Maintained/Neglected).

were in fact buried in the area. They
