Sanford RiverWalk Phase III - Pardon the Dust
Take an aerial trip along RiverWalk Phase III.
The RiverWalk project is of regional importance, critical to the connectivity of many communities. It will be an integral part of the statewide bike and pedestrian network. Located along beautiful Lake Monroe’s south shore (a state designated scenic highway), this project will provide one of the most pristine bike and pedestrian experiences second to none in Florida, offering residents and visitors a spectacular view of Florida’s unique and unspoiled waterway, right here in Sanford!
At almost three and a half miles long, the construction of Sanford’s RiverWalk seawall is underway. Construction started mid-March 2019. W. Seminole Blvd. (formerly known as 17-92) has been closed to thru traffic until approximately September 30, 2019 -- open to local traffic only.
The road will be closed approximately 5 months while the pipe crossings along the entire stretch of W. Seminole Blvd. are being replaced. These pipes (some are over 80 years old) need to be replaced due to their age. There are eleven pipe crossings in all.
Stay Tuned!

A Tour of SANFORD, FLORIDA: This City is Incredible!
Sanford is a city in the central region of the U.S. state of Florida and is the county seat of Seminole County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 53,570.
Known as the Historic Waterfront Gateway City, Sanford sits on the southern shore of Lake Monroe at the head of navigation on the St. Johns River. Native Americans first settled in the area thousands of years before the city was formed. The Seminoles would arrive in the area in the 18th century. During the Second Seminole War in 1836, the United States Army established Camp Monroe and built a road that is currently known as Mellonville Avenue. The city sits approximately 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Orlando.
Sanford is home to Seminole State College of Florida and the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Its downtown attracts tourists with shops, restaurants, a marina, and a lakefront walking trail. The Orlando Sanford International Airport, which is in the heart of the town, functions as the secondary commercial airport for international and domestic carriers in the Orlando metropolitan area.
The opening of Walt Disney World in October 1971 shifted the economy of Central Florida away from agriculture, military installations, defense/aerospace industries, and the NASA manned and unmanned space programs, and further towards tourism, service industries and residential development, the center of which is Orlando. But because of Sanford's former preeminence as a trade center, the city retains a significant collection of older commercial and residential architecture, on streets shaded by live oaks hung with Spanish moss. Its location on Lake Monroe and access to the navigable waterway of the St. Johns River has made it Central Florida's additional center for numerous marinas, allowing access for pleasure boats and commercial vessels to and from the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway via Jacksonville and Mayport to the north.

Old Swedish Church, Sanford, Florida, USA
Sanford, celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, adopted the Swedish tradition to recognize the Upsala immigrants as one of the largest ethnic groups in Sanford's early history.
The Swedes contributed to the making of Sanford long before the city was incorporated in 1877, according to joint research by the societies. Many of Sanford's early buildings and streets were constructed by Swedish labor. Later generations of Swedes became celery farmers, businessmen, and civil servants.
Last year, two Swedish descendants, Charlie Carlson and Teri Patterson, and local history researcher Christine Kinlaw-Best completed a book chronicling Sanford's Swedish heritage. The Swedish History of Seminole County is available at the Sanford and the Seminole County museums.
Many of those first immigrants came from the Uppsala region of Sweden. The late 1860s and early 1870s brought hard times for those living in the lowlands near Uppsala. Food was often scarce because farmers could not keep up with the hunger of the growing population in Stockholm and nearby communities.
The iron mining and steel industries that would provide the jobs and the labor unrest that would bring sweeping political and social changes in Sweden were still decades away.
Between 1867 and 1886, nearly 450,000 Swedes emigrated to escape harsh economic conditions in their homeland. Many came to the United States, and most went to the Midwest.
However, 150 adults, mostly carpenters, masons, painters, cabinetmakers, blacksmiths and horticulturists, founded New Upsala west of Sanford as the first and largest of five Swedish settlements in Central Florida. The first group arrived in Florida on May 30, 1871. Most were young men, in their 20s to mid-30s.
Their first jobs were at Belair, Henry Shelton Sanford's pioneer citrus groves. Oranges and Sanford's founder played major roles in the founding of the colony named for the university city northeast of the Swedish capital of Stockholm.
Sanford, a wealthy Connecticut manufacturer, lawyer and statesman, had irritated Cracker settlers by hiring black laborers to clear his land. When attacks by whites killed some of the black workers and wounded others, many fled.
Sanford, whose wife, Gertrude, had many Swedes in her family tree, sponsored Swedes to labor a year in return for their travel and living expenses. Joined by others, they founded the community of New Upsala (now, simply Upsala) near Belair.
OK, back to the grapes and Grapeville.
Sanford grew grapes at Belair, along with 140 types of citrus, pineapple, olives, figs and others fruits.
The Swedes grew grapes, too. Grape growers were prevalent in the state in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The state's oldest farm association is the Florida Grape Growers Association.
Swedes moved into the Piedmont community of the south Seminole-Apopka area in about 1877. Many of the early settlers enjoyed homemade wines they made from oranges and from the thick-skinned muscadine grapes they found growing wild in small clusters. Citrus pioneers August Gust Jackson and Olaf Larsson and his sons, Jonas and Lars, opened the first of several early commercial wineries.
Now, the exact original location of the Grapeville area of Sanford is unknown, but the small Swedish community was a neighbor to Upsala, and its early residents attended church services and social gatherings in Upsala before they built their own church. Research for the Swedish book found another Grapeville in Litchfield County, Conn., birthplace of Henry Sanford.
The Swedish book notes, The new GreeneWay expressway now cuts through the heart of the old community of Grapeville.
Copies of the book can be ordered by writing to the Sanford Museum, 520 E. First St., Sanford, FL 32771, or by calling 407-302-1000.
This book, others in the Sanford series and many more also are available at the Museum of Seminole County History at the Five Points government complex on U.S. 17-92, across from Flea World. You can check on the titles and cost by calling museum specialist Karen Jacobs at 407-321-2489 or write to the museum at 300 Bush Blvd., Sanford, FL 32773.
The St. Lucia Festival includes traditional smorgasbord foods, music, historical displays and Scandinavian-style Christmas decor. And it's not just for those with Swedish heritage. The museum is open for the festival from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Today is the last day of ticket sales for the Sanford Historic Trust's holiday tour of homes in the Historic Residential District. Tours are noon to 5 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. For information, call 407-263-4488.
