Orlando is the county seat of Orange County, FL and has a population of over 190,000 - with the greater metropolitan area having in excess of 1.8 million inhabitants. Orlando is known for its many tourist attractions… in particular, the nearby Walt Disney World resort. Other major attractions for visitor and resident alike include Sea World and the Universal Orlando Resort.

During its history, which dates from around 1835, Orlando has seen many changes in its cultural and economic profile. The early years saw a lot of cattle ranching - but then in 1875 the city began a significant population explosion that lasted about 20 years. This "Gilded Era" saw the emergence of the citrus industry throughout the region and Orlando began to become a popular resort area.

The expansion of the tourist industry in Orlando began after the Spanish American War and saw substantial growth up until World War I. The most important event for the tourist industry, however, began in 1965 when Walt Disney announced plans for the famous vacation resort of Disney World. Completed in 1971, the area experienced another population explosion and economic growth that included not only Orange County, FL - but Seminole, Osceola, and Lake counties as well.

There are 115 neighborhoods in Orlando - with the more significant ones being Airport North, Azalea Park, Baldwin Park, Callahan, Central Business District, College Park, Conway, Crescent Park, Delaney Park, Metro North, Metro West, Millenia, North Orange, Park Central, Roosevelt Park, Thornton Park, and West Colonial.

For air travelers, Orlando is served by Orlando International Airport, with secondary air service provided by Orlando Sanford International Airport. There is also an Orlando Executive Airport frequently used for private / charter flights and general aviation.

Interstate 4 is the major freeway by which travelers reach Orlando. It intersects the Florida Turnpike southwest of downtown Orlando. The Lynx bus line provides service to travelers in the tri-county areas of Osceola county, Orange county, and Seminole county.
