maybe a sales office can give you the info you are looking for. I had heard that Orange Blossom Gardens was the first actual village, built in 1968. All houses were mobile homes. That's where Schwartz lived ( the founder with his son Gary Morse). They had 3 failed tries ( bankruptcies) to establish the villages and met with Levitt ( the founder and builder of Levitown, L.I. for the returning G.I.'s ( WW2 and their families) for help. Eventually had success with the "free golf" concept.
