History Of Orlando

Then known as Jernigan, Orlando was nothing but a rudimentary settlement tacked on to Fort Gatlin, a military base for American soldiers during the bloody Seminole Indian wars. At the close of the Second Seminole War, settlers moved in and supposedly renamed the region after Orlando Reeves, a soldier killed by Indians at Lake Eola.

By the turn of the century, Orlando had become a thriving farming community and was popularly referred to as the 'city built on the peel of an orange'. The citrus boom was succeeded by intermittent railroad and real estate booms, but the late 1950s saw a dramatic evolution with the coming of the Space Age. The Cape Canaveral and Cape Kennedy Space Centers on Florida's east coast brought in tremendous cash flow and with it the plush jobs.

With the establishment of Walt Disney World in 1971, the area became a theme park megalopolis. Orlando has also established itself as a high tech corridor, the Silicon Valley of Florida. Orlando is now the third most popular US destination among international visitors, after Los Angeles and New York City.
