Then, OBG expands into Sumter County - into what we know today as - The Villages. Beginning in 1968, Albert J. Tarson bought the land for developing a mobile home park. However, it languished, causing him to sell out to the Schwartz family. Then it began to expand in Lake County until they ran out of room - crossed US-441 and into Sumter and parts of Marion County. Now this massive community continues to expand. This book was written to sift through misinformation and stories - with facts. These facts are legal documents - deed records, county approved plats, FCC licenses, newspapers, and on it goes. This book covers the owners\/investors - with some genealogy and history - as well as some early Florida activity (1950s - before the OBG). This book ends in 2014. The intent was how it began as well as how it expanded - more than about - today. There is a small section comparing a few modern activities - but the history ends in 2014 upon the death of Harold Gary Morse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67625775693926,"sku":"9781304048509","price":23.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/j5bwKpv1Y89781304048509.webp?v=1791136258","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/orange-blossom-gardens-and-the-villages-how-it-all-began-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
