• History of Dupont Center: Dupont Lodge is located in an area south of St. Augustine known as Dupont Center. This is a defined area of land on both sides of US 1, near the Hwy 206 intersection with a long history of farming and was named after the owners, the DuPont family, who were prominent residents of the city. The DuPont family’s presence in St. Augustine stretches back to the late 1600s, when Huguenot Abraham DuPont left Rouen, France, for London in 1681. In 1791, the Spanish government granted a 41-acre land grant to the DuPont family, which is now the site of the Dupont Center.
Whether you're planning a family getaway or a gathering with friends, Dupont Lodge provides a comfortable base amidst natural surroundings, with modern amenities and convenient access to both outdoor activities and urban attractions.
