Sanford is located on southern Lake Monroe north of Orlando and has a 2000 population of 38,291. The town was named after Gen. Henry Sanford, a landowner, and was the filming location for the 1991 movie, "My Girl."
In 1913, when Seminole County was carved from Orange County, Sanford, Florida continued as the county seat. Evidence of its governmental
functions are the imposing County Courthouse and City Hall near the Lake Monroe waterfront and in the heart of the downtown business district.
Beautiful houses in the area range from charming condos, villas and townhouses to luxury estate homes. The closeness of cultural and entertainment choices and close-by beaches and the wonderful central Florida weather make this an idyllic place to call home. Let Orlando Realtor John Hambrick help you find your new home in downtown's historic district, a retirement community or in one of the beautiful area golf club communities. A diversity of living, from small-town to cosmopolitan Orlando, is available in the geographic real estate area of Lake County, Osceola County, Orange County, Seminole County, Polk County, Brevard County and Volusia County.
The golf links of the Mayfair Country Club had their beginnings in 1921 when the city of Sanford laid out the 18-hole course which was played by many of the big name touring professionals of the day including Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer and the Hebert Brothers. The property was subsequently sold to the New York Baseball Giants who operated the golf course along with their baseball training camp and the Mayfair Inn, which now houses the New Tribes Mission in downtown Sanford.
The Sanford RiverWalk is a beautiful new 1.2 mile walkway along the St. Johns River. The 12-foot-wide paved bike pedestrian pathway is just one step in the revitalization of this beautiful and historic city.
Developers are also continuing with plans for magnificent waterfront town homes and condominiums and brightly painted riverfront shops and restaurants.
The Sanford Naval Air Station, built in 1941 and deeded by the federal government to the City of Sanford in 1969, has remained active and contributed to the growth of the area. Today, 1,900 acres comprises Orlando Sanford Airport which welcomes over one million passengers per year on charter and scheduled airline flights. Approximately 60 companies are located in the airport's industrial park.
