Maitland (Fla)
Museums--Florida
Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records contributed by the Maitland Historical Museum. The museum is located at 221 West Packwood Avenue in Maitland, Florida.
Present-day Maitland was originally inhabited by the Seminole tribe, which called the area "Fumecheliga," meaning "Musk Mellon Place." In 1838, Fort Maitland was established on the west coast of Lake Maitland by the U.S. Army and named after Captain William Seton Maitland, a casualty of the Seminole Wars.
Settlement in Maitland expanded at the close of the American Civil War and the citrus industry grew. Around 1876, Dr. Haskell formed a syndicate and began contruscting a railroad from Jacksonville to Maitland that was completed in 1880. In 1885, the area was incorprated as the Town of Lake Maitland. Many left Maitland following the Freeze of 1894-1895. Despite the freeze's devastation, the citrus industry was able to grow and expand, reaching its peak in 1926.
More growth occurred in the 1950s and 1960s with the development of the space industry in nearby Orlando and Brevard County. In 1959, the city was renamed Maitland. Growth continued in the 1970s with the arrival of Walt Disney World in the Orlando area.

Concert at the Vanderpoel Mansion
Subject
Concerts--United States
Description
An invitation to the Springtime Chamber Music Concert at the Vanderpoel Mansion, also known as the Vanderpoel House of History, located at 16 Broad Street in Kinderhook, New York. The concert was hosted by the Columbia County Historical Society on May 25, 1974.<br /><br />The Vanderpools were one of the original families in Maitland, Florida, with Isaac Vanderpool, the patriarch of the family, buying 160 acres of land in the year 1870. In 1876, after facing a large financial loss and disaster in New York, Isaac and his wife, Harriet Vanderpool, permanently moved to the Maitland area. At the time of their arrival, the area only had about four or five family homesteads and orange groves. Vanderpool was part of the first committee to help incorporate the town of Lake Maitland. The committee included Vanderpool, Henry S. Kedney, George Packwood, and Richard Packwood.<br /><br />The Vanderpool family was also heavily involved in civic affairs, which included the establishment of the town of Eatonville by Vanderpool and Josiah C. Eaton. The Vanderpools were paricipants in the creation of the Florida Audubon Society and the organization of the Maitland Public Library. Harriet Vanderpool, along with Bishop Henry C. Whipple, founded the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, and, in 1927, she wrote the "Maitland Song," which the chamber of commerce adopted as the official song for the city. In 1887, Vanderpool became Mayor of Maitland and during this time, acquired land for the city first cemetery. In 1892, he built the first packinghouse in Maitland, which was featured in <em>TheGate City Chronicle</em> as the state most modern and best packinghouse.
