Haines City Main Street, Inc. is a Florida non profit organization established to revitalize historic downtown. Designated a Florida Main Street City in 1990, Haines City Main Street partners with the City of Haines City the Haines City Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Haines City EDC to make downtown a vibrant and beautiful place to enjoy with family and friends any time of the year. Located in Central Florida, Haines City came into existence with the advent of the railroad in 1883. Historically, it was called Clay Cut and later named Haines City for Colonel Haines, an official of the South Florida Railroad. Haines City is the birthplace of two pioneering ventures. The first was in 1915 when Florida Fruit Products Company produced and premiered the first bottled grapefruit juice. In the late 1940s the citrus industry’s character changed again when Haines City businessmen began work on the development of frozen citrus concentrate. Haines City became the birthplace of frozen concentrate products. A Florida Boom Town, downtown Haines City is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We invite you to downtown Haines City to shop, eat or relax…

Vacant for years, the historic Publix store #2 was recently purchased by Rent King who plans to “open for business” this August. The Art Deco building was constructed in the 1940s and was one of the first modern buildings in Haines City to have central air conditioning and automatic electric doors. The Rent King owners will receive design assistance from the Haines City Main Street Design Committee to restore and showcase this landmark building. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 6, 2010 for Haines City Main Street’s “Swamp Cabbage & Wild Game Festival.” Bring your family and join us for the fun, delicious food and activities, celebrating Haines City’s heritage.
