Everybody is not aware that there are two Dunedins in the world. Situated on a small landlocked bay about midway up the eastern or Gulf coast of the peninsula of Florida, United States, is the town of Dunedin, which is only about one-fourth the size of its New Zealand namesake. There is, however, at least one point of similarity, and that is in the ancestry of the pioneering stock, for the Dunedin of America was founded by a party of wandering Scots in 1875. The town faces the sunset and the ever-blue one of the many popular resorts along waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and is that favoured shore. The Otago Expansion League has been in communication with the younger Dunedin, and intends to develop this connection by further correspondence.
