So, for awhile, there was as much Villages to the south of 466 and there was to the north and people naturally used that road as a method to identify where in The Villages you lived. Eventually, The Villages developed all that land and then crossed 466a to go all the way south to 44. So now, north & south of 44 is used just like it was when 466 was the identifier. And north of 466 usually references to older "original" portion of The Villages and south of 44 usually references all of the newer developments. I guess everything in the middle is just waste land. (just kidding !!!!)
Thank you so much!
