Welcome to Orlando, dating back to 1838 and the height of the Seminole Wars. The U.S. Army built Fort Gatlin south of Orlando City to protect its settlers from attacks by Indians. By the 1840s a small community had formed around the fort that was called Jernigan. Settler a few years later the community officially changed its name to Orlando.
During the period of 1875 to 1895 Orlando is remembered as the "Gilded Era" when it became the hub of Florida´s citrus industry, but the great freeze of 1894 and 1895 forced many owners to give up their groves and shifted operations south.
During World War II a number of personnel were stationed in Pine Castle AAF, most of these service men stayed in Orlando and settled their families there. Orlando is close to the Patrick Air Force Base, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center. For residents to commute to work form the city to the suburbs.
