Wilton Manors Trivia
In 1924, Ned Willingham began purchasing parcels of land totaling 345 acres located on an island between the north and south forks of the Middle River.
By October 1925, the first plat of the new community, Wilton Manors, was drawn with most of the streets named after Native American tribes.
The "sales office" for this new 345 acre development opened for business in February 1926....... and the sales / development still continues here in our Island City!!
