This photograph appeared in a 1915 Port Richey Co. brochure with the caption: “Partial view of New Port Richey, showing Orange Lake—in the center of the town—with the new school house in the distance. A hard surfaced boulevard is now being built around this beautiful clear water lake which covers almost four acres and is twenty feet deep.” This photograph also appeared on March 4, 1916, in the Florida Grower with the caption: “The town of New Port Richey—Orange Lake in center.”
