In 1868 firearms manufacturer James Warner moved his family from Springfield Mass. In 1884 his son Warburton S. Warner founded a town, Palma Sola, he promoted it as "The youngest and largest town in Florida, made up largely of New England people, Were no liquor is sold. The town also boasted the two-story Palma Sola Hotel, a general store said to be the largest between Cedar Key and Key West.A long wharf, and an ice house large enough to hold a schooner load of New England pond ice. There was a large saw mill that shipped lumber to New England and Palma Sola area also achieved some note as a shipping point for produce and livestock. Warburton Warner's home "Sans Terre" still stands on the shore of the Manatee River a short distance to the east. This is some of Manatee pioneer days.
