Much of this area is known by Jacksonville residents as the <em><strong>Northside<\/strong><\/em>, though much of what is called \u201cNorthside\u201d does not fall within these boundaries, and much of what falls within these boundaries has not been traditionally known as \u201cNorthside\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Northwest Jacksonville<\/strong> is located north of Interstate 10, south of the Trout River and surrounds the downtown section. The parts of this area between US Highway 1 and the Trout and St. John\u2019s River is usually considered part of either the \u201cNorthside\u201d or, alternately, Downtown. Much of this section is actually rural land, not easily classified as part of any section.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Southeast Jacksonville<\/strong>, almost universally known as <em><strong>Southside<\/strong><\/em>, refers to everything east of the St. Johns River and south of Beach Blvd.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Southwest Jacksonville<\/strong> makes up most of what is known in Jacksonville as the <em><strong>Westside<\/strong><\/em>, though parts of Northwest Jacksonville also are considered part of the \u201cWestside\u201d. It consists of everything west of the St. Johns River and south of Interstate 10.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Urban Core<\/strong>, most of which is commonly known as <em><strong>Downtown<\/strong><\/em>, includes the south &amp; north banks of the narrowest part of the St. Johns River east from the Fuller Warren Bridge and extending roughly 4\u00a0miles (6.4\u00a0km) north and east.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the rapid growth in the eastern part of Duval County, the <strong>Intracoastal\/Beaches\/Ponte Vedra<\/strong> area is viewed by many as a major section as well, but is not generally included in a Jacksonville list since they lie outside of the Jacksonville city limits. There is also a distinct part of the city known as \u201cEastside\u201d which those unfamiliar with Jacksonville\u2019s overall geography sometimes mistakenly regard as one of the major divisions of town, rather than the localized neighborhood which it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today, what distinguishes a \u201csection\u201d of Jacksonville from a \u201cneighborhood\u201d is primarily a matter of size and divisibility. However, definitions are imprecise, and sometimes not universally agreed upon.<sup id=\"cite_ref-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wp-admin\/#cite_note-1\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each of these sections not only encompasses a large area, but also, each is divided into many neighborhoods. Each of these neighborhoods, in turn, has its own identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each of these sections is divided into many neighborhoods.

The original streets are named after mostly South Pacific islands and most of the streets are, from north to south, in alphabetical order. The original street names are Aloha Drive; Batavia Drive; Caledonia Drive; Delago Drive; Eniwetok Drive; Fiji Court; Hawaii Drive East; Hawaii Drive South; Indies Drive North; Indies Drive East; Indies Drive South; Java Drive; Kuralei Drive; Mindanao Drive (The main drag); Sandalwood Boulevard (Original main entrance road); Bahia Drive; Dulawan Drive; and Kusaie Drive.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The were eight original home styles named as follows: Aloha; Bahama; Bikini; Caledonia; Del ray; Java; Polynesian; and Waikiki. Free airplane rides over Sandalwood were offered during the grand opening. The entrance and sales office located on Sandalwood Boulevard boasted a winding, palm lined street, and adjacent play area for the children. Homes were priced from $11,400 to $16,000, with monthly payments as low as $67. The original Sandalwood consisted of approximately 500 homes. The first families purchased homes in May and June 1960. Many of the first families were U.S. Navy families who were stationed at the Mayport base and others were employed by CSX railroad.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1970s, additional construction began at the southern border by the Sofranko Homes company, nearly doubling the size of the neighborhood. Most of the original early 1960s families have moved away over the years, but a handful of the original families are still left from the early 1960s.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Southeast Jacksonville<\/h3>\n<p>Neighborhoods include Arrowhead, Avenues, Bayard, Baymeadows, Baymeadows Center, Beach Haven, Beauclerc, Bowden, Brackridge, Brierwood, Craven, Deercreek, Deerwood, Deerwood Center, Del Rio, Englewood, Goodbys Creek, Greenfield Manor, Greenland, Isle of Palms, Julington Creek, Kilarney Shores, Lakewood, Loretto, Mandarin, Mandarin Station, Miramar, Montclair, Pickwick Park, Pine Forrest, Royal Lakes, San Jose, San Jose Forrest, San Marco, Sans Pareil, Sans Souci, Secret Cove, South Riverside, Southpoint, Southwood, Spring Park, Sunbeam, Tiger Hole and Windy Hill.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Bayard<\/h4>\n<p>Bayard has a rich history that antedates its inclusion in the municipality of Jacksonville.

It is situated south of Arlington (specifically, south of <a title=\"Florida State Road 202\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Florida_State_Road_202\">J. Turner Butler Boulevard<\/a>) and east of Mandarin. A center for <a title=\"White-collar worker\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/White-collar_worker\">white-collar<\/a> employment, it is home to many corporate office parks, upscale apartment complexes and residential developments, two private golf courses, several shopping centers and a large shopping mall.\u00a0 Deerwood and Hampton Glen and East Hampton and Reedy Branch Deercreek<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Lakewood<\/h4>\n<p>Lakewood, which lies in the area where San Jose Blvd. and University Blvd intersect, is a residential area with houses built in the 1950s. It has several churches, two shopping centers, and a plethora of streets named after major private colleges, such as Clemson, Cornell, Fordham, and Emory.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Loretto<\/h4>\n<p>Loretto is a distinct part of the greater Mandarin area, and sits between San Jose Boulevard to the west and Philips Highway to the east. It is bordered to the north by Interstate 295 and to the south by the county line. Loretto was formed by the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine. In the days of Reconstruction, Loretto sprouted up next to the nuns\u2019 convent, dormitory and school. It is on what became Old St. Augustine Road, the highway between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. According to Wayne Wood\u2019s Jacksonville\u2019s Architectural Heritage, the nuns were sent there to educate both the residents and newly freed slaves. The Catholic Church still owns the property on all four corners of the intersection of St. Augustine Road and Loretto\/Greenland Roads. The Loretto area public schools always have been highly regarded; on the FCAT, they\u2019re all rated A, B or C. The average price for homes that become available in Loretto is just under $200K. Many homes are built on some of the largest new construction lots in the area and there are a lot of dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs. Over the length of San Jose Boulevard, residents can find just about every merchant, service or restaurant available in the city. Loretto has a solid, hometown feel, with established neighborhoods, parks and nature areas nearby, making it the proverbial middle America.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Mandarin<\/h4>\n<p>Mandarin has a rich history that antedates its inclusion in the municipality of Jacksonville.

In the 1800s, Mandarin was a small farming village that shipped oranges, grapefruit, lemons and other fruits and vegetables to Jacksonville and points north on the steamships that traveled the St. Johns River. In 1864, the Union steamship, the Maple Leaf, hit a Confederate mine and sank just off Mandarin Point.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Mandarin now is just a small section of the City of Jacksonville, its natural beauty, parks and historic buildings draw visitors from around the world.

Due to large differences in property value, income distribution, and reported crime statistics in a relatively small area, San Marco is diverse. In one block, residences range from low cost, multi-family dwellings to sprawling riverside mansions. It is an area of historical and cultural significance in Jacksonville, and its inhabitants and proprietors identify strongly with their community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Known as a trendy area, the most identifying feature of San Marco is \u201cthe Square,\u201d an artsy shopping, dining, and entertainment district; its galleries, restaurants, and boutiques are overwhelmingly independently owned, operated, and supported which lends to its vogue. Visitors of the Square are likely to see polite intermingling between young professionals, landed gentry, \u201cscenesters,\u201d and \u201cstarving artists.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Common landmarks are its large statue of three lions and the Art Deco styled San Marco Theater.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Sunbeam<\/h4>\n<p>Sunbeam is a relatively new neighborhood centered around Sunbeam Road which runs east\/west between Philips Highway and San Jose Boulevard. It is situated south of Baymeadows Road, east of Mandarin and north of the Avenues Mall. The area includes the site of the former Sunbeam Sanitary Landfill which opened in 1972. The dump emitted objectionable odors, which discouraged development nearby. The landfill permit expired in 1986, and the facility stopped accepting garbage. After being covered with a 3-foot (0.91\u00a0m) deep cap, which prevents the elements from coming in and waste from coming out, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) certified it closed on October 21, 1992. <sup id=\"cite_ref-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wp-admin\/#cite_note-2\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> With the odor problem resolved, development resumed in the middle 1990\u2019s including subdivisions, apartment complexes, commercial buildings and the <a title=\"Community Hospice of Northeast Florida\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Community_Hospice_of_Northeast_Florida\">Community Hospice of Northeast Florida<\/a> center. A golf course on and around the original landfill was planned and delayed for several years but construction finally began in late 2007 and projected to open in Fall, 2008. However, the financial meltdown delayed opening. At the end of 2009, the course was substantially complete but work on a clubhouse had not commenced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Southwest Jacksonville<\/h3>\n<p>.<sup id=\"cite_ref-3\"><a href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wp-admin\/#cite_note-3\">[4]<\/a><\/sup>..<sup id=\"cite_ref-4\"><a href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wp-admin\/#cite_note-4\">[5]<\/a><\/sup>.

The Westside is also home to some of the most culturally diverse schools in Duval County to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Argyle<\/h4>\n<p>One of the newest and largest neighborhoods on Jacksonville\u2019s Westside, and occupying a large area of former ranchland, Argyle has grown rapidly from its beginnings in the mid-1980s. Straddling the Duval\/Clay county line, Argyle was originally accessible only from Blanding Boulevard in Orange Park. However, as it has expanded westward, Argyle is now connected to Jacksonville\u2019s far-Westside by a number of roads, including the Brannan Field-Chaffee Road corridor that links I-10 directly with Middleburg. Argyle remains a popular choice for middle-class families that are recently settling in Jacksonville\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Avondale<\/h4>\n<p><a title=\"Avondale Historic District\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Avondale_Historic_District\">Historic Avondale<\/a> lies along the St. John\u2019s River southwest of the Riverside area, some three to four miles (6 km) upriver from downtown Jacksonville. Avondale is known for its quiet, tree-lined residential streets and hundreds of quaint homes, most dating from the early 1920s during the Great Florida Land Boom. A few Avondale homes pre-date 1900. Most homes in the neighborhood reflect the middle to upper income taste in residential architecture of the 1920s, including numerous Prairie School, Art Deco, Craftsman Style, Classical Revival, and Mediterranean Revival styles. Avondale is characterized by numerous bungalows and spacious, graceful homes. Unlike some other neighborhoods, Avondale never experienced a period of decline during the latter 20th Century, and retains much of its original gentility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two-lane St. John\u2019s Avenue is the key traffic artery through Avondale, and is the location of the Avondale Shops, a small but vibrant collection of specialty shops, clothing stores, cafes, and upscale restaurants, most of which are located in original 1920s structures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Avondale Historic District<\/strong> is a <a title=\"United States\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/United_States\">U.S.<\/a> <a title=\"Historic district (United States)\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Historic_district_(United_States)\">historic district<\/a> in <a title=\"Jacksonville, Florida\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Jacksonville,_Florida\">Jacksonville<\/a>, <a title=\"Florida\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Florida\">Florida<\/a>. It is bounded by <a title=\"U.S. Route 17\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/U.S._Route_17\">Roosevelt Boulevard<\/a>, Belvedere Avenue, Seminole Road, the <a title=\"St. Johns River\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/St._Johns_River\">St. Johns River<\/a>, and Talbot Avenue, encompasses approximately 2730 acres, and contains 729 historic buildings. On July 6, 1989, it was added to the <a title=\"United States\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/United_States\">U.S.<\/a> <a title=\"National Register of Historic Places\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/National_Register_of_Historic_Places\">National Register of Historic Places<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Cedar Hills<\/h4>\n<p>Cedar Hills lies along the Cedar River (called Cedar Creek by the locals), on the opposite shore from Lake Shore, and stretches from Blanding Boulevard on the east to Lane Avenue to the west. Built in the 1940s, Cedar Hills consists of some 3,000 single-family brick or concrete block homes in seven different residential neighborhoods that are anchored by the Cedar Hills Shopping Center business district. Most of the homes are modest, although many of the homes along the shore of the Cedar River have been greatly expanded, or replaced with much larger homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Confederate Point<\/h4>\n<p>Built in the 1960s on reclaimed lowlands, technically a small island surrounded by a moat, with one small bridge as access. Confederate Point lies along the Cedar River (called Cedar Creek by the locals), on the opposite shore from Lake Shore. Confederate Point stretches from the Ortega River to the east, to Blanding Boulevard on the West, and is bordered by the Cedar River to the North, and Timaquana Boulevard to the South. The area consists of approximately 300 large, single family homes, and approximately 700 condos and apartments that line the south bank of the Cedar River. All of the single family homes are inland, with the apartments and condos lining the shore of the Cedar River. The area is popular given that it is close to water, and Downtown, yet also exclusive in that there is only one road in or out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Lake Shore<\/h4>\n<p>Built during the time of the first World War, Lake Shore lies on the curving north bank of the Cedar River (called Cedar Creek by the locals), and stretches from Roosevelt Boulevard on the east, to the Cedar River to the West, and is bordered by the Cedar River to the South, and Park Street to the North, and is bisected by Cassat Avenue. Lake Shore consists of approximately 1,000 modest, wood-frame, concrete block or brick homes, with the exception of approximately 80 quite large estates that line the shore of the Cedar River. The neighborhood is anchored by the Roosevelt Plaza on Roosevelt Boulevard, and the Lake Shore business district of stores up and down Cassat Avenue. Lake Shore is centrally located on the Westside, with quick access to Downtown Jacksonville via Roosevelt Boulevard. Given the small size of the existing homes, the current trend is for first time home buyers to renovate and retrofit these well built homes to fit today\u2019s needs. This is a very well maintained pocket of 1940s and 1950s homes. There is a definite trend to renovate and revitalize this quiet, comfortable neighborhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Marietta<\/h4>\n<p>Marietta is one of the small farming communities that was absorbed during the 1968 consolidation of Jacksonville with Duval County. Though technically a part of the city proper today, much of Marietta still retains its small-town, and even rural \u201cfeel\u201d, with some old-style farms and ranches, and most homes occupying lots of 10\u00a0acres (40,000\u00a0m<sup>2<\/sup>) or more, on which they keep horses and cattle, or raise grain and maintain orchards. Marietta is popular with old Southern families, and new families who moved to Jacksonville from mid-western agricultural states. Companies looking for more space have also found Marietta. The area west of Marietta and east of Whitehouse along Beaver Street is now home to the <a title=\"Publix\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Publix\">Publix<\/a> warehouse, Michael\u2019s warehouse and the <a title=\"Winn-Dixie\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Winn-Dixie\">Winn-Dixie<\/a> distribution center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Normandy<\/h4>\n<p>Outside of what would eventually become Jacksonville, and originally called \u201cHogan Settlement\u201d, The Normandy area was settled by Jacksonville\u2019s \u201cFounding Family\u201d, the \u201cHogan\u2019s\u201d who were the first white settlers in Duval County. The Normandy area is a large swath of forested high-ground that straddles both sides of Normandy Boulevard, and stretches from Cassat Avenue on the East, out to Herlong Airfield on the West, and is bordered by I-10 to the North, and Wilson Road to the South. Though originally populated by the large ranches of many of Duval County\u2019s founding families such as the Hogans, Lindseys, Fourakers, and the Herlongs, the area is now a bedroom community, containing over a dozen large residential neighborhoods such as Normandy, <a title=\"Normandy Village, Jacksonville, Florida\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Normandy_Village,_Jacksonville,_Florida\">Normandy Village<\/a>, Rolling Hills, Country Creek, Crystal Springs, Hyde Grove, Hyde Park, etc, with very few apartment complexes or condo developments. These neighborhoods have their own sewer and water plants, and unlike most wood-constructed homes in Jacksonville\u2019s newer neighborhoods, most homes in the Normandy area are constructed of brick, or concrete block. The area is home to some of the city\u2019s best schools, and parks. Unlike other sections of the city, where people tend to move from home to home every 2 or 3 years; homes in the Normandy area are routinely transferred from generation to generation, and it is not unusual for great-grandchildren to live in homes originally built by their great-grandparents.<sup id=\"cite_ref-5\"><a href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wp-admin\/#cite_note-5\">[6]<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Ortega<\/h4>\n<p><a title=\"Old Ortega Historic District\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Old_Ortega_Historic_District\">Historic Ortega<\/a> lies on the St Johns River just south of the historic Riverside area. Ortega is bordered by the St. Johns River on the East, the Cedar River on the North, and the Ortega river on the West, practically making it an \u201cinland island.\u201d The history of the area includes a number of interesting characters: botanist <a title=\"William Bartram\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/William_Bartram\">William Bartram<\/a>; highwayman and cattle rustler <em>Daniel McGirtt<\/em>; and <em>Don Juan McQueen<\/em>, who attempted to establish a plantation on his 1791 Ortega land grant, but was forced to leave due to attacks of Georgians and the French. Gangster <a title=\"Machine Gun Kelly\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Machine_Gun_Kelly\">George \u201cMachine Gun\u201d Kelly<\/a> and his wife were rumored to be the mysterious couple who abruptly left their rented Grand Avenue home hours before a midnight police raid in 1933. Ortega is home to hundreds of mid-size to large, turn-of-the-century homes and Southern Style mansions. Many of these homes are situated directly on the river, and the nature of the \u201cisland\u201d allows ease of access to the waterways for all residents. Along with Avondale and Riverside, Ortega is home to some of the wealthiest of Jacksonville families. It is marked by a distinctly traditional Southern culture complete with one of the South\u2019s most exclusive debutante coiteries. The island is almost exclusively residential, the only exception being a small square in the section known as \u201cOld Ortega\u201d on the northern end where a small collection of restaurants, boutiques, and a pharmacy are found. Ortega, with its giant oaks, waterfront mansions, and series of parks is widely considered one of the most beautiful residential areas of Northeast Florida.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Paxon<\/h4>\n<p>Platted in the 1920s and 30\u2019s, the Paxon area is one of the oldest, pre-platted neighborhoods in Jacksonville. Built due to the redistribution of housing after the Great Fire, the Paxon area replaced the many thousands of homes that were destroyed in the Great Fire with thousands of modest, wood-framed homes. The Paxon area was extensively well-planned with its own schools (originally known as Paxon Sr. High School and Paxon Jr. High School, along with a half-dozen small elementary schools). The area straddles Edgewood Avenue South, and stretches from Mcduff Avenue to the East, and I-295 to the West, and is bordered by I-10 to the South, and I-295 to the North. The area originally contained over 40,000 single family homes in over 15 different residential neighborhoods, all anchored by the Edgewood Avenue, and Beaver Street business districts. However, over time, the area declined due to the small average size of the homes, and many of those homes were destroyed, and replaced with warehouses and mixed industry. Despite the new industrialization of the area overall, there are still many thousands of occupied homes in the Paxon area. Paxon Senior High School has been converted into a magnet school\u2014it is now known as <a title=\"Paxon School for Advanced Studies\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Paxon_School_for_Advanced_Studies\">Paxon School for Advanced Studies<\/a>\u2014which has been listed by Forbes Magazine as one of the top three high schools in the United States for the last four years.<sup title=\"This claim needs references to reliable sources from May 2007\">[<em><a title=\"Wikipedia:Citation needed\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed\">citation needed<\/a><\/em>]<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Riverside<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0Whitehouse<\/h4>\n<p>The community of Whitehouse was originally founded due to its close proximity to NAS Cecil Field, with most residents being active Navy personnel or civilian employees at the facility. When the federal government closed Cecil Field in 1999, the leaving military workers were replaced by civilian workers at the Cecil Commerce Center. The area east of Whitehouse along Beaver Street is now home to the <a title=\"Publix\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Publix\">Publix<\/a> warehouse, Michael\u2019s warehouse and the <a title=\"Winn-Dixie\" href=\"http:\/\/asapirrigation.us\/wiki\/Winn-Dixie\">Winn-Dixie<\/a> distribution center, which provide additional employment nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Northwest Jacksonville<\/h3>\n<p>A less developed section of Jacksonville, it is primarily commercial\/industrial around Interstate 295 and rural residential in most areas. Neighborhoods include: Allendale, Biltmore, Bulls Bay, Carver Manor, Cisco Gardens, College Gardens, Commonwealth, Edgewood, Edgewood Manor, Grand Park, Harborview, Lackawanna, Lake Forrest, Lake Forrest Hills, Lincoln Hills, Magnolia Gardens, Mixon Town, New Town, Osceola Forrest, Panama Park, Picketville, Ribault, Riverview, Robinsons Addition, Royal Terrace, Sherwood Forrest, Tallulah\/North Shore, Woodstock, 45th &amp; Chase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0Panama Park<\/h4>\n<p>Panama Park was home to two of Jacksonville\u2019s previous mayors, and the founder\u2019s of Duval Spirits, the late J. Baker Bryan and his brother Lon B. Bryan. Oceanway is the home of F. Andy Bryan, Grandson of the late J. Baker Bryan, his great grandson J. Baker Bryan IV, lives in the Orlando area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0North Shore<\/h4>\n<p>The North Jacksonville neighborhood of North Shore had Main Street as its eastern border from about 35th Street up to Trout River. Panama Park was the adjoining neighborhood to the east, Norwood to the west and Brentwood to the south. The western border was between Norwood Avenue and Pearl Street, with Elwood Avenue as the western border. North Shore from the 1930s through the 1990s was largely a lower middle income neighborhood that included churches, a school (North Shore Elementary), and some small businesses clustered near Pearl and 54th Streets and at Pearl Street and Tallalah Avenue. The churches included: North Jacksonville Baptist Church, North Shore Methodist Church, North Shore Christian Church and an Episcopal Chapel. Two parks provided playgrounds for its children, including Tallulah Park and another park at the foot of Pearl Street on Trout River. For many years, the latter offered a boat ramp and areas for outdoor cooking and Easter Egg hunts. After graduating from North Shore Elementary School, its young people went on to Kirby-Smith Junior High School (grades 8-9) and Andrew Jackson Senior High School (grades 10-12). The City of Jacksonville built Fire Station Number 15 on the corner of Pearl and 54th Streets in the late 1940s, and it was a frequent hangout for the young people who were hoping that a fire call would provide some excitement as the firemen dashed for their gear and headed out on the ancient old pumper with chain-driven wooden wheels. Boy Scout Troop 222, based at the North Shore Christian Church provided life-changing core values and produced over 50 Eagle Scouts during its many years of service to the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Urban core<\/h3>\n<p>The central section of Jacksonville has the following neighborhoods: Brentwood, Brooklyn, Downtown, East Jacksonville, Fairfield, Hogans Creek, LaVilla, Longbranch, Midtown, Mid-Westside, Moncrief, Phoenix, Springfield, Southside, Tallyrand and 29th &amp; Chase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>LaVilla<\/h4>\n<p>LaVilla has a rich history that antedates its inclusion in the municipality of Jacksonville. For more information, see LaVilla.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Southside\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 1907, the town of <em>South Jacksonville<\/em> (now the Southside neighborhood) incorporated with a population of some 600. In 1913, 96 South Jacksonville voters approved the issuance of $65,000 in bonds for civic improvements, including a city hall.
