Osceola County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida. As of 2000, the population
was 172,493. The U.S. Census Bureau 2006 estimate for the county is 244,045, making it
the 17th fastest-growing county in the United States. Its county seat is Kissimmee.
Osceola County was created in 1887. It was named for the Indian leader Osceola, whose
name means "Singer of the Black Drink."
On July 21, 1821, Florida was divided into two counties, named Escambia County to the
west and St. John's County to the east. In 1824, the southern part of St. John's County
became Mosquito County, with Enterprise as the county seat. When Florida became a
state in 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County. In 1844, Brevard County
was carved out from Mosquito County. On May 12, 1887, Osceola was named a county,
having been created from both Orange and Brevard Counties. Osceola County reached all
the way down to Lake Okeechobee until 1917 when Okeechobee County was formed.
