A little history about this park. John E. and Irene Rogers Stead moved to Tallahassee from San Francisco in 1946. The following year, they developed Indianhead Acres. Irene Stead, along with a researcher from the Old State Library, gave the streets in Indianhead Acres their Seminole and Creek names after researching Indian history. The land known, as Indianhead Plantation was a sizeable piece of property - going all the way back to Jim Lee Road and totaling nearly 500 acres. Stead purchased the land for about $65,000. In 1947, Mr. Stead offered to sell part of the property from St. Augustine Road to the Old Perry Road (US-27) to the city for one dollar for the purpose of building a school and stadium. At the time, the city council said that this area was too far out of town to ever be developed and turned down the offer. But just a short time later, the county approached the Stead’s and purchased the land. Today it is the place where Hartsfield Elementary School stands. For the rest of the story visit Optimist Park II and III.
