Mandarin is located on the eastern banks of the St Johns River, was founded in 1830 by Calvin Reed, a prominent area resident, and was named after the Mandarin Orange as it was a small farming village shipping oranges, grapefruit, lemons and other vegetables to Jacksonville and other points north on the St Johns River. Once called a “tropical paradise” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, today Mandarin is marked by its history, ancient oak trees draped with Spanish Moss, beautiful parks, and more water views of the St Johns River than any other area in Jacksonville. It is a vibrant residential, retail, and commercial community today with convenient access for its residents to the downtown CBD, the Butler Business Corridor, as well as short drives to St Augustine and the numerous beaches along the east side of Jacksonville.
