Fact text

  • Fruitland Park is home to the oldest dirt kart track in America, a tiny 1/8-mile clay oval that has hosted Saturday night racing since 1958.
  • The town has had an identity crisis: the railroad refused to call it Gardenia, the post office refused to call it Fruitland Park, so for four years all freight and mail went to completely different names.
  • The city was named after a nursery in Augusta, Georgia, meaning Fruitland Park is technically named after a completely different place.
  • Lillian Vickers-Smith, the first female sports editor in the United States, called Fruitland Park home.
