It was 1964. A secretive organization was quietly buying land in central Florida nearby Lake Buena Vista southwest of Orlando - a lot of land for a cheap price. Much of it was cow pastures or swamps. Land like this was nothing special and only cost about $180 an acre (4,047 square meters), according to whohq.com. The land owners were pleased to sell the useless land and the r...
