What began as a distribution center for shipping agricultural
products around 150 years ago became a community noted in the
twentieth century for its leadership in research and
education. Historic Photos of Gainesville focuses its
lens on the unfolding development of this Alachua County town,
encapsulating its cultural progress over the last two centuries
with nearly 200 compelling black-and-white photos. This handsome
book chronicles the 1906 founding of the University of Florida and
includes rare photos of its rise from modest beginnings to one of
the nation’s largest universities and leading research
facilities. Historic Photos of Gainesville draws from
an extensive collection of rare images, revealing how a once quaint
southern town became a modern-day city rich with history and
educational opportunity. Archiving the growth of this vibrant
community, Historic Photos of Gainesville is a
must-have for area residents and historians alike.
