Sanford Welcome Center
The Historic Sanford Welcome Center, Inc.
 Sanford is more than a city rich in Florida history. It is a city where everyone feels like they belong and the spirit of Southern hospitality is experienced on every street corner. Take the time to stroll the residential streets that are lined with beautiful city parks and hundreds of turn of the century homes, adorned with hundred year old oaks that whisper the secrets of the past.
Experience the rich history and the revitalized businesses that provide a number of special things to do in Historic Sanford. At one moment you will be immersed in the history of the steamboat days and in the next moment transported to a vibrant small town filled with antique shops, a flourishing arts district and unique restaurants. Spend an afternoon in this downtown setting with brick streets, restored buildings and sidewalk cafes. Browse for that one of a kind treasure or enjoy the arts and create a memory that will travel with you.
Our history dates back to the early 1800's when Sanford was once a hub for commerce on the St. John's River. The city sits on the south shore of Lake Monroe at the head of navigation on the St. John's River, a 9,406 acre lake, and offers beautiful lake views on the new Riverwalk - A perfect place to take an afternoon stroll and watch the sun set on the lake.
Our picturesque First Street is the center of downtown and has been revitalized with brick streets and traditional light posts. The Victorian-era cottages that adorn the surrounding residential area are lovingly restored and framed with gingerbread trim and picket fences.
We invite you to our wonderful city to savor our history and pride in our past. Make Sanford your next destination in Central Florida!
