Settlement boom drives Florida land rush to Burbank Ocala
A train load of settlers tours the Burbank Ocala Colony in Marion County as Charles H. Sieg’s Florida land movement accelerates. In under a year his St Johns Park and Jacksonville Heights colonies sold 30 000 and 36 000 acres respectively, with rapid home building, rising land values, and many buyers earning profits before improvements. Sieg selects Marion County north of Ocala for his largest project bordered by two railroads and the Ocklawaha river.
