Biographical history
One of a number of land promotions of the time, the Florida Land Company, (offices in Chicago and Jacksonville; J.H. Plummer, president), had land for sale in Clay County, and attempted to raise funds for constructing a 500-room hotel in the projected town of Belmore. A Handbook of Florida (1891), p. 16, shows Belmore as the last station on the Western Railway of Florida.
