PHCC / Pine Hills Historical Commission
Preserving Our Past. Protecting Our Story. Powering Our Future. The PHCC / Pine Hills Historical Commission is dedicated to preserving, documenting, and elevating the history of Pine Hills and the legacy of the Pine Hills Community Council.
For more than five decades, PHCC has helped shape civic life in Pine Hills.
Much of Pine Hills’ history lives in photo albums, newspaper clippings, meeting minutes, community programs, and the memories of longtime residents. The Historical Commission exists to ensure that our community’s story is preserved, protected, and passed forward.

This page will serve as a public-facing home for the archive and a place where residents can help identify people, dates, locations, and important community moments.
Preparing to honor 75 years of Pine Hills.
In 2027, Pine Hills will celebrate 75 years as a community. Since its development began, Pine Hills has grown into the largest unincorporated area in Orange County and remains one of Central Florida’s most diverse, resilient, and civically engaged communities.
The PHCC / Pine Hills Historical Commission was established in honor of this upcoming milestone and to ensure that the people, places, leaders, organizations, and defining moments that shaped Pine Hills are preserved for future generations.
This work also comes during a meaningful anniversary year for the Pine Hills Community Council, Inc. In 2026, PHCC celebrates 54 years of service as an organization and 50 years as an incorporated organization, continuing its long-standing commitment to preserving a clean, safe, and prosperous community.
