History of the Name
Rosen Shingle Creek, takes its name from the creek, which passes through the property.
Early pioneers who first settled Central Florida in the 1800s were drawn by the
splendor of this picturesque creek. They used the creek for fishing, trapping and logging
cypress trees. These logs were floated to a nearby mill and eventually made into
shingles for their homes thus, the name Shingle Creek.
Today a new and beautiful bit of history begins with Rosen Shingle Creek, a singular
and remarkable ode to Florida’s natural riches and legendary charm.
