CORD MEYER DEVELOPMENT

As the 20th century began, Meyer pursued his interest in real estate, acquiring a substantial parcel of land in the Hopedale section of Whitepot. He designed street layouts, introduced utilities, and built single family homes. Schools and shopkeepers soon followed and as time unfolded, he named his town "Forest Hills." The creation of Forest Hills marked the advent of Cord Meyer Development Company, which was incorporated in December 1904 with Cord Meyer, Jr. as its first president.
