This postcard is postmarked October 1918 and the sender writes that he is glad to be leaving the area in the southern part of Jacksonville.

The Ortega Bridge is still around but looks quite different today. The wooden bridge has given way to concrete.

Swampy’s Florida says Happy National Celery Month!

Alva snoozes under a celery tree… well, it’s a tree to her.

Near the turn of the 20th century, Sanford was first known as Celery City due to the huge amount of celery the area produced. This all stemming from the vast agricultural successes of Henry Sanford, who the city was eventually named after.

Behind the celery is a citrus crate with one of the many other local Sanford producers, Sunbear.
