ORANGE COUNTY
Orlando County Seat • Florida Local
Disney World • Universal Studios
Orange County was founded on December 29, 1824 and renamed January 30, 1845. It was named for the Orange fruit that grew throughout the county.
African Americans in the county, with the help of local organizations, organized to register and vote in the 1920 presidential election. Despite extreme racial violence against Black people in the county going back to the Reconstruction period of 1865 to 1877, the Black community remained positive and forward-thinking.
Orange County residents including African Americans and other minorities have really united to promote economic development and local businesses. After much perseverance, Orange County has become the number one destination in the world for vacations and family fun for people around the world.
In the 1960s, Orange County was selected by the Walt Disney Company as the future home of Walt Disney World. On October 1, 1971, Walt Disney World became a reality. Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida have become major attractions for residents and visitors alike.
