Long before Hunters Creek was established, the Timucuan Indian tribe inhabited the region of Central Florida that includes present-day Shingle Creek, a scenic waterway coursing through southern Orange County. These indigenous peoples were very skilled at fishing and hunting, which is reflected in the designation of the name given by Genstar Southern Development's project: Hunter's Creek.
Genstar Development Company, originating from Canada, was the proprietor of a substantial land parcel in the southern sector of Orange County, Florida, encompassing an area of 3,840 acres. The beginning of this affluent community's development dates back to 1984, with the launch of construction announced two years later in 1986 as an initiative projected to span 15 to 20 years.
In a significant transition, Genstar sold a portion of their property in 1987, to American Newland Associates, a general partnership based in California. A decade later, in August 1997, AG Land Associates, LLC, previously named American Newland Associates, transferred some undeveloped land to Westbrook Hunter's Creek, LP. The majority of Hunter's Creek was built during the late 1980s and 1990s
Today the City of Hunters Creek is a thriving community. Hunters Creek has a total area of 6.5 square miles in the south west corner of Orange County. There are 38 Single family home neighberhoods and ten multi family home neighberhoods in Hunters Creek.
Hunter's Creek, has a population of approximately 25,000, earned the distinction of being named one of America's "Best Places to Live" by CNN Money magazine in September 2011. The community is celebrated for its distinctive amenities and a plethora of volunteers who contribute their services across various community roles.
