A brief history of Orange Park

Despite being known for having some of Florida's longest commutes due to massive gridlock on its two main thoroughfares, the actual Town of Orange Park is much smaller and quaint than most may imagine. For anyone looking to get a feel of authentic Orange Park, a stroll down River Road is a great place to start.

River Road is located just east of US 17, between I-295 and Kingsley Avenue in Orange Park.
