Sebring, Florida

Known as “The City on the Circle,” Sebring, Florida extends the same warm welcome it has since it was founded in 1911 by George Sebring. This pioneer conceived a unique circular plan as a focal point for this entire lakeside community. His idea was that all roads should lead to and from the center of the community, and despite many modern highway improvements since, thus it remains today. The community experienced a boom era in the 1920’s as a result of its founder’s plans.

Today downtown Sebring is an eclectic mix of fashions, accessories, shoes and sportswear shops; boutiques; music stores; a pottery shop where products are made on-site; restaurants; tea room, antique galleries and other compatible business and professional offices that make it an exciting and fun place to be. It is not uncommon to see visitors, arriving from north or south on Amtrak, strolling through the downtown area looking for bargains and specialty items.
