The Land Boom

Mr. & Mrs. Herman C. Kluge came here in 1919 because of his affiliation with the Woodmere Lumber Company. He was a forest cruiser, who scouted out potential timber lands for Woodmere. At that time they bought 33 acres of land in Englewood, some of it bay front property, for $2,500 making it about $75 per acre.

Englewood History

Gottfried Family
From the collection
of Diana Harris

Englewood is rich in history. The stuggles and the triumphs of the people who came here in the late 1800's are fascinating subjects.

We are fortunate to have such a wealth of natural and social history still evident in our midst.

Enjoy the writings of Diana Harris, local author and historian.
