Workers picking ferns in the early 1950s.Casselberry was originally part of the unincorporated community and current census-designated place, Fern Park.
Hibbard Casselberry initially purchased 140 acres of fernery land near Lake Orienta, later selling it to another local family. He then acquired hundreds of acres surrounding the Triplet Chain of Lakes, where he developed Fern Park Estates. In 1940, the Florida Legislature approved a petition to incorporate the town of Casselberry. The town thrived under his leadership, initially operating without real estate taxes. Casselberry served as the town's first mayor for two terms and held a seat on the town council.
Residents decided to officially incorporate it as a tax-free community known as the "Town of Casselberry" on October 10, 1940, with the purpose of the citizens voting to incorporate it so that they would avoid having to pay property taxes.[2]
The town was officially reincorporated as the "City of Casselberry" on July 25, 1965, and soon after, in 1976, the Casselberry's citizens eventually voted to have property taxes reinstated.[2]
