The neighborhood of Mandarin is situated in the southernmost area of Jacksonville, Florida in Duval County of the United States. It is located on St. Johns River’s eastern banks, across from Orange Park. The neighborhood got its name from the mandarin orange when a prominent resident named Calvin Reed first called it that in 1830.

The writer Harriet Beecher Stowe called the Mandarin area a “tropical paradise.” The quaint neighborhood is characterized by ancient oak trees with Spanish moss, a rich history, beautiful marinas and parks, and more views of the water than any other Jacksonville area.

Mandarin during the 19th century was a small farm village which shipped lemons, grapefruit, oranges and other vegetables and fruits to Jacksonville and areas north via steamships traveling along the St. Johns River.

The Maple Leaf, which was a Union steamship, collided with a Confederate mine in 1864 and sank right off of Mandarin Point.

For many years most of the land in the area had orange trees growing on it. However, during the early 1980s there was a freeze that destroyed much of the crop. At the time many of the orange farmers made the decision to not replant their trees that had been destroyed and sold their former groves to developers instead.

The community of Mandarin is only a short drive south of the city center of Jacksonville and is bordered to the west by the St. John’s River, to the south by Julington Creek, and to the north by Beauclerc.
