Known as "The
City on the Circle", Sebring, Florida was founded in 1911
by George Sebring.
This pioneer
conceived a unique circular plan as a focal point for this entire
lakeside community. His idea was that all roads should lead to
and from the center of the community and despite many modern
highway improvements since, thus it remains today.
Today, Circle
Park and Circle Drive are the focal point for many community
events and festivals and the area is ringed by shops and businesses
of all types.
