About Orlando, Florida


Boulder Colorado

Orlando, the city seat of Orange County in central Florida, is home to more than a dozen theme parks. Chief among its claims to fame is Walt Disney World, comprised of parks like the Magic Kingdom and Epcot and water parks. Another major destination, Universal Orlando, offers Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter straddling both. It is situated in a region home to more than 100 lakes. It was once the main hub of Florida’s citrus industry until a deep freeze in the late 1800s caused farms to move their citrus crops further south. Timucua and later Seminole peoples originally inhabited the region. Settlement began about 1843 around Fort Gatlin, a U.S. Army post.
