This opened as Drive-In on December 19th, 1941. It was renamed Florida Drive-In in 1950 to avoid confusion with other drive-ins. I uploaded the grand opening ad as well as an aerial.

In 1956 it was owned by T.G. Soloman who also owned the REBEL drive-In in Baton Rouge. Flordia parked 350 cars and the Rebel parked 500 cars.
