Parmalee was established in 1915 as a stop on the East and West Coast Railway between Verna and Myakka City.

[4] In 1926, the lumber company (by then known as Roux-Askew Lumber) sold a large tract of land which included the town of Parmalee to the Constructive Agricultural Syndicate of New York City.

The organization cleared the land and developed multi-acre farming lots.

[5] A few months after the sale, the post office at Parmalee was closed, and the area ceased to go by that name, being largely absorbed into the growing nearby town of Myakka City.
