City: Arcadia   County: DeSoto   Year: 1961
Location: 115 East Oak Street, by County Courthouse

Named after the great Spanish conquistador and Florida explorer Hernando De Soto, the county was created out of Manatee County in 1887. The area's original inhabitants were Caloosa Indians. In early Florida history the region was the scene of numerous Indian battles. The county's 416,640 acres offer a diversified economy of citrus, cattle, agriculture and industry. Arcadia is the county seat.

Because this is kind of generic, I chose a collage of 8 residences in Arcadia/Desoto County
