Description
Orange Park is a town in Clay County, Florida, United States. As a suburb of Jacksonville in neighboring Duval County, it is formally a part of the Jacksonville, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 9,089 at the 2020 census, up from 8,412 from the 2010 census. The name “Orange Park” is additionally applied to a wider area of northern Clay County outside the town limits, covering such communities as Lakeside, Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace and Plantation. The town’s name reflects the hope of its founders for a fruit-growing industry, but their crops were destroyed in the Great Freeze of 1894–1895. Despite recovery elsewhere, the crops never came back to Orange Park. Orange Park has several amenities that are unique to the town. Orange Park Mall has the latest fashion department stores with Belk’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods within a 5-minute drive. If serenity and southern charm are your vibe, then Club Continental which overlooks the St. Johns River would be a place of interest.
