In 1911, Lutheran Slovaks originally from what at the time was the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now Slovakia) who were living in Cleveland, Ohio formed the Slavia Colony Company with the goal of establishing a colony in Florida.[2]

Notable Places

Only a few places exist in this small area. Lukas Nursery and Butterfly Encounter[3] and St. Lukes Lutheran Church and school lie within the boundaries, both sharing the Slovak history that Slavia is known for. [4]
