Clermont Homes for Sale

Clermont is a city in Lake County, Florida, which is one of the few geographical locations in the state featuring fills. This historic city is only 22 miles from Orlando and 22 miles from Leesburg. Clermont is a member of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford Metropolitan Area. Founded in 1884, Clermont was platted and built between Lake Minnehaha to the south and Lake Minneola to the north. Clermont was named after Clermont, France, hometown of A. F. Wrotnoski, one of the co-founders. In 1916, the town was incorporated, with the first developer, Edward Denslow, organizing The Postal Colony Company in 1922. Denslow purchased 1,000 acres of land in Clermont and planted citrus groves, which were owned and taken care of by people who had retired from the post office. During a period, Clermont was one of the principal citrus growers in the United States. In 1956, the Florida Citrus Tower was built, becoming one of Florida’s most visited historic sites. The Florida Citrus Tower was the tallest structure in the state for quite some time, allowing visitors to look out upon thousands of acres of citrus groves, as well as being able to see all the way to Orlando.
