  1. Thanks, Jeff, for your exhaustive research that corrects earlier accounts of Dade County place names and individuals.

  2. Interesting research & article. Thanks for passing it on. As a kid from New York state, my family re-settled in the truck-farming sticks of south Dade County in 1958 when I was 11. It was quite a radical & wonderfully rich change for this little kid. We lived on Eureka Drive 200 yards west of Naranja Road. Went to Redland Junior High and South Dade High, where we were the SD Rebels, waved the Confederate flag and played Dixie at football games. I visited South Dade in the summer of 2022 and made the principal a bit uncomfortable with tales of his school in the early 60s.

  3. Fine job, as always, Jeff. Reading about people named “Richmond” and Peters” and associating them with certain places is illuminating. Thanks for your research and articles.

  4. I am perplexed. The Kendall family grew avocados and limes in South Florida for decades. I worked for Harold one summer making lime oil about 60 years ago. It has always been my understanding the road was named after that family, and the subsequent town was named after road.

    • Hi Chris, it’s Dee Dee Walker Brodie. I understood the naming of Kendall Drive to be what you described. I’ve enjoyed reading these nuggets of info about home & may gather what I can from my cousins (Lynn, Tommy, Kenny, Michele, Ann, Tica, Tim, Pam). As you know we lost our historian, Jack recently but his wife AnnMaree has lots of info. Hope all is well with you and your family. I was there for Paul Neidhart’s service and in January to see Lois before she passed away….everything is so different.
      Hibiscus Street is so different with Village Hall in the place of our shopping center. Kind regards, Dee Dee Walker Brodie, Tallahassee
