This artistic welcome sign on the south end of Hillard features an airplane and a forest, which matches the town's motto of "Aviation to Timber."
Hilliard, Florida, is a little town located in North Florida very close to the Georgia border. Along with a couple of other small towns, Hilliard sprang up in 1881 following the construction of the Waycross & Florida Railroad Company when it was completed from Waycross, Georgia, across the St. Mary's River at Boulogne, south to Callahan, then on to Jacksonville. Logging is a major industry in the area surrounding Hilliard with the lumber being used in the manufacture of paper and other wood products, hence the forest scene on the sign. In addition, Hilliard is home to a Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Control Center that is responsible for coordinating the majority of commercial and civilian air traffic for the southeastern United States, thus the airplane.
