Mount Dora

Mount Dora, a town that carries the echoes of history and a charming allure that captures the hearts of all who visit. Once known by a different name, Mount Dora's transformation over the years has been shaped by the contributions of visionary pioneers and the unique geographical features that set it apart.

As settlers ventured into this land, they were guided by the leadership of remarkable individuals like Ms. Drawdy, Mr. Ross C. Tremain, and Capt. John Philip Donnelly. Their roles were pivotal in laying the foundation for the town's growth and prosperity. Among them, Mr. Tremain emerged as a prominent figure, becoming the inaugural postmaster of the settlement in 1880. It was during this time that the settlement bore the informal moniker of Royellou, a name derived from the amalgamation of Tremain's cherished children: Roy, Ella, and Louis.

In a pivotal moment three years later, the settlement evolved into a full-fledged town, accompanied by an official change in nomenclature. Thus, the name Mount Dora was born, a reflection of the town's unique geographical positioning. Nestled atop a plateau soaring 184 feet above sea level, Mount Dora stands as an extraordinary anomaly within the lush landscapes of Florida.

Fast-forward to the present, and Mount Dora continues to shine as a gem within the national tapestry. In 2013, the esteemed USA Today spotlighted Mount Dora, Florida, as one of the premier small towns for retirement in the entire nation. This distinction can be attributed to the town's undeniable southern charm and warm hospitality, which greet visitors like an old friend.

Amidst its enchanting streets, the downtown area unveils a scene straight out of a storybook. Imagine strolling amidst the shade of majestic 100-year-old Oak Trees, their branches adorned with Spanish Moss that dances in the breeze. As you wander, the scent of nearby Orange Groves lingers in the air, while the captivating vistas of water stretch out as far as the eye can see.
