| Orange County, Florida |
Orange County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida and is part of the
Orlando-Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). As of 2006 Census Bureau
estimates, the population is 1,043,500. The county seat is Orlando.
Mosquito County was created in 1824. It was renamed Orange County in 1845 for the
fruit that constituted the county's main product. At its peak in the early 1970s, some
80,000 acres (320 km²) were planted in citrus in Orange County. A truly impressive sight
while driving through the rolling hills of the region were the vast vistas of the dark green
foliage of orange trees and the intoxicating scent of the orange blossoms when in bloom.
Today, far fewer commercial orange groves remain. The vast majority of groves were
destroyed by the devastating freezing temperatures experienced in several severe
winters of the early 1980s. The financial setbacks, (not the first in the history of the grove
region), was just too much for many growers and many, economically destroyed, just
walked away from the land and its outstanding obligations. Others hung on awaiting any
opportunities. One of the major land owners and growers in the region was the
Tropicana company. They, however, also threw in the towel rather than try to come back
again from these seemingly generational decimations. With no realistic avenues for
agricultural utilization of this rural land and Florida's continuing strong population growth
and its attendant needs, (not the least of which was aided and abetted by the great
success of nearby Disney World and Universal Studios), these areas began and continue
to be, swallowed up by growing housing developments. However, several packing plants
and wholesalers who get their oranges from elsewhere in Florida are still in Orange
County.
