50th Anniversary Golden Nugget: Deer Creek Opens in 1991

Deer Creek was dedicated in 1991. It involved 630 acres with 260 lots platted. Through a land swap, plus the purchase of a small tract, Branigar was able to add some 49 additional lots on two islands adjacent to the Deer Creek property. Of interest is that on the day these lots came on the market in April 1993, sales were made on 14 lots for a total price of $4,000,000. This area is known as The Islands of Deer Creek.
