Your local roofer
Henry Shelton Sanford laid out the city on the south shore of Lake Monroe in 1870, and Sanford was incorporated in 1877. After the freeze of 1894–95 wiped out citrus, farmers turned to celery, earning the “Celery City” nickname. Today the Riverwalk runs along Lake Monroe, First Street and Sanford Avenue anchor a restored downtown, and Orlando Sanford International Airport and the Central Florida Zoo are close by.
Sanford has one of the region’s largest collections of historic homes. The Sanford Residential Historic District alone, listed on the National Register in 1989, includes 432 historic buildings under old live oaks. In the city’s local historic districts, any exterior work, including repairs, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before it begins.
