History

The city was devastated by Hurricane Charley on Friday, August 13, 2004.

During the late 1800s Arcadia was the county seat of what would become many counties. In May 1941 the site again became an airfield for military primary flight training, operated by the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Aeronautical Institute (now Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University). According to the U.S Census estimates of 2005, the city grew to 7,151.

Furthermore the fire was exacerbated because the town did not have a working water system or fire department.
