This historic map of Clermont, Florida was issued by the Clermont Improvement Company in 1884, the same year Clermont was founded. The company hired civil engineer A.F. Wrotnowski to complete a survey of the area in July 1884, and then used his map to advertise the area to potential residents. Lots marked with an X on the map were sold as of July 1, 1884.
Text on the map advertises Clermont as “15,000 acres of the best orange & vegetable lands in Florida…” Original lot prices from 1884 are listed in the lower left corner of the map. 50 x 150 foot lots sold for $100, orange and truck lands sold for $20 an acre, and lake front lots sold for $50+ an acre.
