Once home to native Indians and later to orange grove plantations and freed slaves, the neighborhood called “Little Africa” was renamed Lincolnville in 1878. The architecture is as diverse as the landscape — Victorian, mansions, coquina bungalows and shotgun cottages under ancient oaks and majestic palms bordered by the marshes of the San Sebastian and Matanzas Rivers and Lake Maria Sanchez. During the Flagler Hotel years, the residents of Lincolnville were often hospitality service professionals in this premier vacation destination.

Today Lincolnville charms visitors and locals alike. A true neighborhood where the charm of the old South has been graciously preserved.
