Mount Dora, Florida

A Little History

Settled in the 1870s and officially incorporated in 1910, the town was originally named Royellou before being renamed after Dora Ann Drawdy, a hospitable early homesteader. The "Mount" in Mount Dora references the town's elevation of 184 feet above sea level, making it a literal high point in the region. The arrival of the railroad in 1887 transformed the local economy, establishing the town not only as a hub for the thriving citrus industry but also as an "Elite Winter Retreat" for wealthy Northerners seeking outdoor recreation. Proudly holding onto its long-time slogan, "Someplace Special," Mount Dora has meticulously preserved its 19th- and early 20th-century architecture, keeping its historic, pioneer-era identity vibrantly alive.
