Auburndale, Florida

City of Auburndale, Florida

Auburndale was originally founded by a man named Frank Fuller in 1880 who was seeking refuge from the wintery chill of the north. It was originally named Sanatoria, after a local hotel. It wasn’t until after the arrival of the railroad that it became Auburndale at the suggestion of settlers from Auburndale, Massachusetts. The city became a home to many early American artists.
