"Carlouel,
founded in 1934 but not incorporated until later years, was the first of its
kind in the area. Originally founded by Theron R. Palmer and Garrett A. Hobart,
Carlouel began as a small cabana club. One hundred local families were invited
to join, each paying one hundred dollars in annual dues. Paul F. Randolph
assembled the real estate that became the Club property and adjacent home sites.
When the issue of naming the Club was discussed, it was easily solved by
combining the first syllables of the names of the founders wives - Caroline
Hobart, Louise Palmer, and Eleanor Randolph. The Club was thus named Car-lou-el."
