Dr. Philip Phillips was a prominent Central Florida citrus magnate in the early-to-mid 20th century. He owned approximately 5,000 acres of citrus groves in the area that now bears his name, and developed new techniques for processing and packaging orange juice.

His family's philanthropic legacy continues through the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Orlando.
