Maitland

Maitland is one of the oldest incorporated suburban municipalities in Central Florida. The town is named after Fort Maitland, which was built in 1838 on the western shore of Lake Fumecheliga (later Lake Maitland) during the Second Seminole Indian War. After the war the fort was torn down and the settlement remained.  This settlement came to be called Maitland.  As of 2010, the population of Maitland was estimated at 15,751.

Maitland’s “historical corridor” encompasses several historic residences  in the Lake Lilly and Lake Catherine areas.  Several examples of these beautiful historic homes are: the Arthur O’Heir House (1885), Chadburne Hall or High Oaks (1890), the James Arch House (1885), the Robert L. Wagner House (1881) and the Hill-Stone House (1908).   Maitland has become a location where affluent individuals have come to reside.  Come take a stroll around Lake Lilly, enjoy the Sunday Farmers’ Market, and the old town charm that is historic Maitland.
