history of San Marco:

 

The quaint San Marco area centers on its leafy namesake square, a lively hub with indie boutiques and casual eateries serving brunch, pizza and ice cream. Chic bistros and trendy bars dot surrounding streets. The art deco San Marco Buildings shows art-house movies and new releases, and rock bands play at intimate venues Live. The neighborhood is also known for its old riverfront mansions.

San Marco is a neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida, south of Downtown across the St. Johns River. The neighborhood was formerly the independent city of South Jacksonville until it was annexed by Jacksonville in 1932. The neighborhood is primarily residential, with an integrated commercial sector known as San Marco Square.

The South Jacksonville community emerged after the American Civil War and incorporated in 1907. It saw its greatest growth after the Acosta Bridge was completed in 1921, connecting the neighborhood to Downtown Jacksonville. This period included the construction of the original San Marco development, which eventually gave its name to the area as a whole. Since the 1990s, the neighborhood has seen several historic preservation and redevelopment projects. It is home to fourteen city parks, several schools and other amenities.

Permanent habitation on this part of the St. Johns River came only during Florida’s British period, when officials established a ferry crossing at the Cow Fordin 1760. The ferry docked on the river’s southern bank, which was thus populated continuously long before what is now downtown Jacksonville.   When the Spanish resumed control of Florida in 1783 they built Fort San Nicolas beside the ferry landing in present-day St. Nicholas.   In 1793 the Spanish government issued a land grant for a slave plantation, which was eventually taken over by Isaac Hendricks. By 1850, Hendricks had married Elizabeth Hudnall, who owned a large adjacent tract, and his daughter Margaret married Albert. Philips, owner of the nearby Red Bank Plantation; as a result much of the area was owned by families connected to each other by marriage.

After the American Civil War, the plantations were broken up for residential developments. In 1873 Elizabeth Hendricks sold the eastern part of the Hendricks-Hudnall tract to retiring Florida governorHarrison Reed, who moved there and established the original South Jacksonville development. In 1882, Hendricks developed the western portion of her land as “Oklahoma”. South of Oklahoma, Harrison Reed’s sister Martha Reed Mitchell and her husband Alexander established the vast estate of Alexandria as a winter home.  Martha Mitchell became a prominent fixture in Jacksonville society, involved in a number of charities and causes.   By 1900 the developments had grown into a community generally known as “South Jacksonville”.
