It is an important business center, as well as an art, cultural and educational center. The city has a rich history that goes far beyond its role as a resort town.

Over the years, the area has been settled by Spanish settlers, African Americans, and European immigrants. Orlando was officially incorporated as a city in 1875. In the late 19th century, Orlando became an important center of the citrus industry. In the 1920s, a building boom began with roads, schools and public buildings. During World War II, the U.S. government took advantage of Orlando's strategic location in Florida to build several military installations here. Since Orlando's first theme park resort opened in the 1960s, Orlando has become one of the premier theme and amusement park destinations. Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and Legoland Florida are just a few of the area's most famous parks. The city is known for its amusement parks, but Orlando has many other amusement parks. The city is home to several important museums, including the Orlando Museum of Art and the Orlando Science Center. In addition, there are numerous theaters, concert halls, and venues for live entertainment. Orlando is also an important educational location, as it is home to several prestigious colleges and universities, including the University of Central Florida and Rollins College. Orlando also has a rich culture and a growing arts scene. The Orlando Shakespeare Theatre and the Orlando Ballet are just two examples of the city's many cultural institutions. There is also a vibrant music scene with many clubs and concert halls. With its history, culture, and many attractions, Orlando is a fascinating destination. This book will help you make the most of your visit to this unique city.

Download or read book Orlando Travel Guide Florida USA written by Ellis Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orlando Travel Guide, Florida USA. The History and Tourist Information. If there was ever a city dedicated to enjoyment, then Orlando is it. Even the most cursory drive through the city will tell you one thing: there is no disguising the fact Orlando is a city built on theme parks. Lots of them. Strange to think that until 1966, though, there was precious little here in central Florida. A few roadside attractions aside, it was one man, Walt Disney, who really changed the landscape. No matter which way you slice it, growth has spiralled thanks to a huge influx of tourists that followed the arrival of Walt Disney World Resort. Almost all of Florida's cities and resorts are based around its long coastline, naturally capitalising on the beaches or swampland national parks that attract so many international visitors. Orlando is the only real exception, a strange, idiosyncratic place in the middle of the Floridian wasteland, and coincidentally one of the most famous resort towns in the world attracting around 50 million tourists a year. Most head straight to one of the theme parks, the biggest and most famous being Disney World. Beginning with the original Magic Kingdom, which opened in 1971, the park has expanded to encompass three more theme parks, two water parks, a mini town called Downtown Disney and a pretty lakeside stretch known as the Boardwalk. But while theme parks dominate, Orlando has built a distinct character of its own. There has been a stab at giving the city some historic context with the promotion of 'Old Orlando', a stretch of the increasingly gentrified Downtown which includes Orange and Garland Avenues. There's also the pretty Lake Eola, with brick streets lined with old oak trees and 19th-century homes, as well as retro roadside attractions such as Gatorland. Really though, Orlando is all about encouraging as many people to have as much fun as they can cram into a fortnightwhether that's at Disney, Universal or in the city centre itself.
