Williamsburg
A District 1 Community

The Williamsburg community was named after William Jaird Levitt, whose family built four Levittowns, each a planned community, between 1947 and 1951. The original Levittown, outside of New York City, contained the first mass-produced homes, made affordable to returning World War II veterans. All four Levittowns are widely regarded as the archetypes for 20th century suburban development.

In the 1970s, the area was surrounded by animals, orange groves and undeveloped land. The Williamsburg Homeowners Association was later instituted and, in all, seven villages including pools, tennis courts and clubhouses were built consisting of more than 3,000 homes.
