[[Oceanway, Florida] is located just north of the neighborhood of San Mateo inDuval County, Florida. Once an area of small farms and isolated houses, since the 1980s, Oceanway has grown dramatically with the addition of numerous residential neighborhoods, which was further encouraged by the building of First Coast High School in 1990, and several other schools for lower grades. Oceanway's growth has been cultural as well as economic. As recently as the 1980s, Oceanway was still regarded^[who?] as typifying perhaps the epitome of Southern culture and stability in Jacksonville; Oceanway is known^[who?] to have resisted integration for generations. Oceanway and the bordering neighborhoods of New Berlin and Yellow Bluff are now amongst the fastest growing areas of the city, and would literally be unrecognizable to someone^[who?] who "came home" today after a twenty-year absence.
