Eldora State House

In 1877, the small community of Eldora was established on the southern inland waterway. While the exact population of early Eldora is unknown, deeds and tax records indicate there were 50 to 75 people. The agricultural community thrived until the late 1880s and 1890s when freezes destroyed the citrus crops. Today, two buildings remain: the Eldora "State" House and a post office/citrus packinghouse.
