Default Morse Boulevard - history

Can anyone tell me the history of Morse Boulevard north of CR466, or point me to a reputable source?

Going back as far as I can on Google Earth shows just a small section leading off CR466 but nothing at the I27 end (Avenida Central is showing in its entirety).

I assume that, before the development of the area south of I27, CR466 was a single-track road, so there might have been no point in linking the two.

Also, the name "Morse Boulevard" suggests that it was built to service The Villages, unless an existing road was renamed.

Is it true that it is maintained by the county? If so, why are there gates at each end?

Thank you
