Pioneer George Sebring founded his quaint lakeside community in 1911 with a circle being the central location. His idea was that all roads should lead to and from this circle, which remains true to this day. In persuit of his dream of a "delightful, wholesome community populated with "contented, happy people", George Sebring built the Kenilworth Lodge in 1916 for "well to do" travelers from up North to enjoy the winter season. Many of them did eventually relocate to Sebring. Guest would enjoy golf, swimming, fishing, concerts and dinner shows. The Seaboard atlantic Railway stopped in Sebring, which made traveling to and from Sebring easy at the time.
In the mid 20's Sebring's population had grown fourfold and the demand for housing was hard to keep up with. Sebring experienced a housing boom.
