A Brief History of Encanto Vista Historic District:

As you study the history of the Encanto area the name James Doris comes up a lot. He was a very successful grocer and businessman from the late 1800’s. HIs accomplishments and wealth allowed him to become a large landowner as well when he purchased 320 acres in the north western outskirts of town, commonly  known as the Encanto area. He subdivided the acreage into what is now the Encanto/Palmcroft Historic District as well as selling land to the city for the development of Encanto Park and the Encanto 9 Golf course.

One of his last efforts before passing on in 1943 was subdividing of Encanto Vista. Sadly, he never saw the development of this sweet neighborhood bounded by 7th & 8th Avenues and Windsor and Encanto Blvd.  in addition to the street boundaries, Encanto Vista is situated between the Encanto golf course and Park as well as lying just to the west of the Willo Historic District.
