Audubon Park Garden District

This guide opens on June 21, 1954, when boys swimming in a lake here found two five-hundred-pound bombs left over from a wartime Army testing range. It follows the Navy team called in to clear them and Conway Kittredge, the developer building a brand-new subdivision around that near miss, who bought roughly two hundred ten acres and named the lakes after his own daughters. A 1956 newspaper editorial called him, only half joking, today's genius of the Central Florida land boom.
