South Putnam was settled in the 1700's when English landowners established rice and indigo plantations along the shores of the St. John's River. Prior to that, the area was home to Native American Indian tribes that fished the river, hunted the forests, and grew food crops. Crescent City, on the western shore of Dunn's Lake, was first settled in 1852; however, there is evidence of earlier property owners before that time.
What is now the town Crescent City was once part of the "Old Oliver Plantation." This was a tract of about 1,800 acres. In 1867 and 1870 large portions of original tract were sold to three men and their wives and became the City of Ellington, named for one of the wives. In 1876, Charles R. Griffing and his wife Jennie purchased the land and began C.R. Griffing & Company. The existing lake, known as Dunn’s Lake at that time, was thought by Mrs. Griffing to have a crescent shape. She changed the name of the lake to Lake Crescent. In 1876, an area of the shore was surveyed and platted. The name chosen was Crescent City. Another lake on the west was named Lake Stella because it looked like a star.
The primary route for settlers was on the St. Johns River by steamship from Jacksonville. Rail service to the community, inaugurated in 1886, facilitated the transport of local goods and increased traffic to the area.
The early economy was based on agriculture in the form to truck crops and citrus and tourism. After the great freeze of 1894-95 wiped out the towns citrus industry most of the citrus fields converted to ferneries, which is still a major industry in the town today.
Because a good portion of Crescent City is located on the banks of the Lake Crescent and Lake Stella there is an increased need for water damage restoration after a hurricane or Nor’easter moves through the area. For almost 30 years SERVPRO® has been here to help after disaster strikes. So whether you just need some general cleaning done, water damage restoration, or fire damage restoration, you can trust your local team at SERVPRO®!

My home flooded awhile back. SERVPRO of Putnam County came promptly. I felt as though I was in good hands with both the friendliness of the staff, and the work performed. I also called them back to have my furniture routinely cleaned. Once it dried, it looked like a brand new living room suite. I would definitely use them again.
