Timeline edit

Mid 1870s edit

Dudley W. Adams arrives at what is known as the "Olaville" settlement in Northwest Orange County, Florida.

1879 edit

During a neighborhood meeting at the home of Miss Bessie Heustis, sister-in-law of Mr. Adams, the name of Olaville is changed to Tangerine, the group being inspired by the fruit of the tree that grew by her doorstep.[8]

1886-1887 edit

The Congregational Church is founded as the Union Church of Christ in Tangerine. Shortly thereafter, the name is changed to the Congregational Church of Christ and a church building is constructed. In the 1940s, the church is named Tangerine Community Church.

April 3, 1909 edit

The Tangerine Improvement Society (TIS) is founded by local Tangerine women. Men are later admitted in 1920.

1911 edit

Mr. and Mrs. William H. and Addie G. Earl donate land to TIS for a community building – “Tangerine Community Hall.”

April 5, 1912 edit

The Tangerine Community Hall opens its doors to community use.

1920s edit

Mrs. Sadie Trimble gifts Trimble Park, situated between Lakes Beauclaire and Carlton, to Orange County.[8]

1937 edit

Land later to become Tangerine Park is conveyed to the Tangerine Improvement Society.

May 28, 1972 edit

The Tangerine Community Hall catches fire. The nearby Zellwood, Florida fire department responds within seven minutes, but the building is destroyed.

April 18, 1977 edit

A new TIS building at 7101 Wright Ave. is dedicated as Johnston Hall in honor of Cecil “CeCe” Johnston for his dedication and service to Tangerine. When the original TIS building burned in 1972, Mr. Johnston led the drive for funds to erect the new building.[9]

Notable residents edit

Tangerine was the adopted home of novelist, journalist and government consultant Harry Hart Frank (born Chicago, Illinois, 1908; died Jacksonville, Florida, 1964). Under the pen name Pat Frank, his classic 1959 post-apocalyptic novel Alas, Babylon is set in the fictional Central Florida small town (stated pop. 3,500) of "Fort Repose". Fort Repose, although fictional, is a clearly drawn composite, representative of many small isolated native-settler Florida communities of the period. The actual town of Mount Dora, 4 miles (6 km) north of Tangerine, has been stated as a specific inspiration for Fort Repose, with Frank's fictional shantytown "Pistolville" said to have been named for Mt. Dora's area of the same name.

In popular culture edit

The setting for the popular young adult novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor is a fictional town based in Tangerine, Florida, located in the Orlando area and having no relation to the actual Tangerine, Florida.

Tangerine is indicated as the hiding place of former bank robber Doug MacRay in The Town.
