About Eatonville
Eatonville is one of the oldest incorporated African-American municipalities in the United States (incorporated 1887) and the childhood home of writer Zora Neale Hurston, who set her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God here. This small town of about 2,500 sits just north of Orlando, anchored by its Town Hall, the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, and the annual Zora! Festival. It is a place of deep cultural history rather than a typical suburb.
