Book excerpt: Seeking better climate, health and adventure in 1875, several brave families chose to leave their comfortable homes in Eau Claire, WI to settle in the wilderness of sub-tropical Florida. They tamed the environment, cultivated the land, and established a fun and beautiful city. The Village Improvement Association Orange City Woman's Club formed in those early days to help fulfill the vision of an exceptional city. Through the years, Orange City has been tested by time, devastating fire and extreme weather. The VIA Orange City Woman's Club has worked alongside community leaders to ensure the community of Orange City would not only endure, but remain the heartbeat of southwest Volusia County. The VIA Orange City Woman's Club continues to document the fascinating and rich history of Orange City in this latest edition of Our Story of Orange City, Florida. By revealing new and expanded records of the past, the VIA makes the old feel new once again.
