About Umatilla: Gateway to the Ocala National Forest

Umatilla was founded in 1856 by Nathan J. Trowell and his family, who settled near what is now downtown. The town was later named after Umatilla, Oregon. At the request of a resident who admired the sound of the name. Incorporated in 1904, the city grew alongside the citrus industry that dominated Lake County for much of the twentieth century. A large citrus packing plant on State Road 19 becoming one of Umatilla's largest employers before severe freezes in the 1980s pushed much of Florida's citrus production further south.

Today Umatilla is best known as the Gateway to the Ocala National Forest. A nearly 400,000-acre forest that begins just north of the city. Draws visitors for its first-magnitude springs, lakes, and hiking trails. The historic Paul Bryan Schoolhouse downtown. Once the town's early school building. Now serves as the headquarters of the Umatilla Historical Society. Preserving the city's roots as a citrus. Farming community even as it has grown into a home area for people drawn to its access to outdoor recreation.

Property Considerations for Umatilla's Residential Properties

Homes near Umatilla's historic downtown tend to be older. Some dating back to the early twentieth century citrus-boom years. These properties can have wall assemblies with prior repairs or non-standard framing that are worth checking before a new drywall project begins. Detached single-family homes make up much of this part of the city. Often on established, tree-lined streets.

Properties further from downtown, including acreage lots. Homes near the edge of the Ocala National Forest. Tend to be more spread out. Longer driveways and, in some cases,outbuildings or additions that were built over time. These rural-style properties call for a bit more planning around material access than a standard in-town lot. Mount Dora Drywall Pros reviews each property's layout and construction before finalizing a quote.
