Founded by World War
I veteran Hibbard Casselberry, who in
1926 bought 3,000 acres to grow ferns,
Casselberry emerged as a suburban residential
community after World War II.
By the time it was incorporated
in 1965, Casselberry encompassed a number
of family-oriented subdivisions and a
budding business district near the intersection
of S.R. 436 and U.S. 17-92.
In the decades that followed,
the city continued to grow – the
population today stands at more than 22,000
– but it became almost indistinguishable
from surrounding unincorporated areas.
The quintessential bedroom
community plans on reclaiming its distinctive
identity with a 16-acre town center along
U.S. 17-92 near City Hall. Details are
currently in the planning stages with
Quorum Development.
Other improvements are
continuing, however. A park just north
of City Hall is being revamped and expanded
to include an amphitheater on Lake Concord.
The new and improved facility will host
the city’s biannual jazz fest as
well as a chili cook-off, art shows and
other special events.
The old Seminole Greyhound
Park property off Seminola Boulevard is
also being redeveloped as Legacy Park,
which contains single-family homes and
townhomes as well as commercial and retail
space. Centex Homes is the primary builder.
Casselberry has 15 parks,
more than two dozen lakes and a municipal
golf course within its city limits.
Adjacent to Casselberry
is unincorporated Fern Park, which, as
the name suggests, also traces its beginnings
to the fern-growing industry. Like Casselberry,
it developed into a bedroom community
for Orlando starting in the 1950s.
