Why is It Named "Dr. Phillips"?

This unique area was named after Florida citrus magnate, Dr. Philip Phillips, who was responsible for several key innovations in the packaging and processing of oranges and orange juice. Dr. Phillips owned several thousands of acres of groves which stretched across nine counties, encompassing all of what is now Bay Hill, Orange Tree, Sand Lake Hills and Turkey Lake Park.

Today, the area known as Dr. Phillips is significantly smaller, encompassing a total area of 12.6km, all to be enjoyed in scenic tropical surroundings.
