    I spotted this bright black marker as I passed through the city of Arcadia. It is located in a…read moresmall park and there is some street parking. The historic district looks lovely and perhaps I will get to spend some time here. It reads, "The Arcadia Historic District comprises fifty-eight blocks within 340 acres that embody the city's development from the founding of its post office in 1883 through the late 1920s. The Town of Arcadia was incorporated in 1886 following the arrival of the first train that year and the area's subsequent growth. In November 1888, voters selected Arcadia as the county seat of DeSoto County, which was established in 1887. The City of Arcadia was incorporated in 1901. The heart of the district is a commercial zone extending 18 blocks and consisting of buildings constructed between 1900 and the late 1920s. Three buildings that survived the devastating 1905 downtown fire, and those that were rebuilt, are generally masonry vernacular in style. The district's most imposing structure is the 1912 Classical Revival courthouse. Residential neighborhoods of mostly frame vernacular homes from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries surround the commercial area. Listed on the National Register in 1984, the district retains remarkable historical and architectural integrity as reflected in its churches, residences, and schools, as well as commercial, governmental,and industrial buildings."

There is a parking lot here for the post office and you can use it to view the marker. There is a crossover for the highway if you are heading northbound. The marker reads, "As white settlers moved into Florida, demands increased for the removal of the Seminole Indians to a western reservation. The Seminoles failed to cooperate, and in 1835 the conflict known as the Second Seminole War began. By 1841, the Indians were still entrenched in central and south Florida. Campaign plans for that year aimed at clearing Indians from the area between the Withlacoochee River and the frontier and then attacking Indian bands in Big Cypress Swamp. To sustain the wide-ranging troops, detached camps were established at various points. Camp Ogden, named for Captain Edmund Ogden of the 8th U.S. Infantry, seems to have been established in July, 1841, as an advanced position for the Big Cypress campaign. In addition, 55 canoes were constructed for the next winter's Everglades expedition. Before the camp was abandoned in the fall, an influential Indian leader, Coacoochee, visited Camp Ogden. The community of Fort Ogden developed in this citrus and cattle region in the last part of the 19th century and took its name from the Second Seminole War camp. Fort Ogden's post office, established in 1876, is the oldest in DeSoto County to be in continuous service." The text is the same on both sides.

    LaBelle had its beginning as a settlement in the 1880's. Captain Francis A. Hendry, a Condederate…read moreofficer during the Civil War purchased land after the war for his home and a large cattle ranch. He founded the town of LaBelle naming it after his daughters Laura June and Carrie Belle. Tcounty of Hendry Florida was Captain Hendry. In the early 20th century E. E. Goodno began purchasing land in the LaBelle area from Francis A. Hendry eventually owning the majority of the Hendry holdings. Goodno's additions to LaBelle soon grew the town to twenty times the size of the original subdivision. The Downtown LaBelle Historic District is a U.S. Historic District in LaBelle Florida that was designated on March 25, 1999. The three acre district is on the 300 Block of North Bridge Street. It contains nine historic buildings that reflect the development of this rural community between the years of 1911 to 1945. The buildings in the district were used for business, social gatherings, and housing. The primary architectural style is Frame Vernacular. There is also a Mediterranean Revival and Moderne style of the type that was popular in Florida during the 1920s to the 1940s. The Curtis Honey House is located in a mercantile from the 1920's. It has been a landmark here since 1954 selling locally produced honey and honey product. Rudy and Maggie's Me & My Girls Antiques and Home Decor in the historic Susan Doub Store and has become a destination for both collectors and browsers. The LaBelle Heritage Museum in located in the Historic 1912 William Hardy Poole Store & Residence. These are just a few of the historic buildings in this district. The historic district of downtown LaBelle is small and very charming. The district is anchored by the beautiful Barron Park on the the Caloosahatchee River. A stroll down the street is like a walk back to a simpler time. The city is currently at work trying to attract more businesses into this area.

It is in excellent condition and has the same text on both sides. It reads, "Downtown LaBelle Historic District. In 1895, prominent landowner and cattleman Captain Francis A. Hendry (1833-1917) platted a townsite at LaBelle, which was first settled as a center for cattle and citrus industries. A post office, general store, school, and a church were eventually built, and LaBelle became the first town and commercial center in what became Hendry County. Although Hendry is credited with settling LaBelle, E.E. Goodno (1858-1936), who purchased Hendry's former land holdings in 1903 and financed many of the town's first improvements, is recognized as the "Father of LaBelle." LaBelle's historic business district extends along and near Bridge Street from the Caloosahatchee River south to Hickpockee Avenue. At one time, both sides of the street were lined with commercial establishments, some of which featured living accommodations on the second floor. Sadly, many early downtown buildings were destroyed in a 1928 fire, but some have survived, including the Poole Store (1911), First Bank of LaBelle (1925), the Royal Poinciana/Newcomb Bakery (1911-1912 --one of the buildings constructed for both commercial and residential use). The Downtown LaBelle Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I did not spend much time in LaBelle and will be looking forward to returning.
