History

Established in 1957.

The Palmwood legacy goes back to 1957, when founder Ralph S. Glover started building with the vision of creating Florida-​style homes to accommodate the growing needs of Central Florida, as people discovered the unique beauty that Florida has to offer.

Mr. Glover originally started building on scattered homesites in the Tampa Bay Area and constructed apartment complexes on Snell Isle in St. Petersburg, Florida. He turned to developing communities with the creation of Palm Terrace Estates in Port Richey, which contains approx. 1,200 homes built by Palmwood through the 1960’s and 70’s. At that time, Palmwood also developed, managed and owned various commercial centers throughout the Tampa Bay Area. Real estate, both general and commercial, has been part of Palmwood’s scope ever since.

In the late 1970’s, Ralph Glover chose a wooded sanctuary in Hernando County to establish River Country Estates, developing approx. 500 estate and commercial lots near the beautiful Weeki Wachee River.
