Cheap Car Rental Sanford :
Cheap car rental Sanford sits on the south shore
of Lake Monroe at the head of the navigation
on the St. Johns River. During the Seminole Wars of the 1830's, the area
was the site of an U.S. Army post name Fort Mellon. As settlers moved into
the area, the town of Mellonville was established. With the advent of
commercial steamboat service, the town became a distribution point for
goods essential for the growth of Central Florida. When Orange County
was created in 1845, Mellonville became the county seat. In 1870,
Henry Shelton Sanford purchased the land west of Mellonville. He
planned a new city "the Gate City of South Forida," which he believed
would become the transportation hub for all of southern Florida.
