The Osceola Park neighborhood was first developed in 1915 and 1917, with the proposal by the Indian Farms Company for the Little Acre Farms and Osceola Park Homesites subdivisions.

Little Acre Farms featured one-acre lots suitable for a home and a small truck farm.[3] Osceola Park Homesites were 15,000 square foot lots, with some commercial lots along Osceola Boulevard. Later subdivisions included Jacoby's Addition (1923), McCurdy's (1925), and the Little Farms Addition (1954.) [4]
