Fivay was a settlement in Florida, midway between present-day Land O’ Lakes and Hudson.[1]
Fivay existed as a company town for a lumber mill for less than a decade, and it started out being known as Five A’s. Its designation came from the owners of the sawmill, whose names all started with “A.” Martin Amorous, Preston Arkwright, Henry Atkinson, Gordon Abbott, and Charles Ayer.
