PACE
 
 
 
 

Pace is named after James G. Pace, who owned large lumber, paper, and turpentine productions that operated in the Pace area and throughout the Southeast . Originally just a strip of land north of Floridatown and west of Pea Ridge, by the 1912 census the area was known as Pace. Afterwards, the Pace's growth was slow and it remained a small, rural community throughout the last half of the twentieth century. Despite local efforts, incorporation failed at least once and has not been re-attempted recently. Within the last decade, however, growth has increased and Pace has become more suburban, surpassing its predecessors Floridatown and Pea Ridge in population, commercial activity, and notoriety.


 
 
 

Many people from the area found several reasons to settle in Pace. Even though there has been a huge population growth in the past few years Pace still has a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxed hometown feel. Many families find the area to be appealing, because of our outstanding school system and excellent athletic program. Pace has all of the amenities of a “big” city without all the hassles. And Pace is conveniently located in between Milton and Pensacola.
