The Apopka Chief Newsletter: October 24 Edition
Sarah Merly
October 24, 2025
Welcome to the Apopka Chief weekly newsletter!
Good morning! This is Sarah Merly, an editorial assistant and reporter for the Chief. I wanted to let you in on a press release we received this week. The St. Johns River Water Management District will be hosting a public meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. this Tuesday at 2501 S. Binion Road. The District will provide an overview of recreation on District lands, land management updates, and opportunity for public comment. It’ll be a perfect time for all of our resident nature-lovers to share their thoughts!
Also, if you’re a long-time subscriber to this newsletter, you know that the links below always went to a PDF of the print edition—and a paywall if you were not a subscriber. The Apopka Chief is now FREE, so feel free to click on all the stories and share them with your friends.
Apopka Chief members help make our work possible, so we want to thank them for partnering with us in the cause of independent, local news. If you want to join our team—and get fun perks along the way—you can learn more about our membership program here.
Thank you for reading, and if you have any comments or questions, please reach out to me at [email protected]. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Apopka Fact of the Week:
“Plymouth was once named Orange Heights until it was discovered in 1902 that there was another town in Florida named Orange Heights. Plymouth was later to become the home of a major fruit growing and shipping citrus cooperative. In April 1911, John T. Chapman of Plymouth became the first president of Plymouth Citrus Growers Association.”
