About Orlando

Satellite view showing Orlando, located in Central Florida, about 60 km (37 mi) west of the Atlantic coast, and 200 km (127 mi) south of Jacksonville, it is the core of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area, a major city and one of the country's premier tourist destinations in central Florida, USA. Florida's largest inland city is nicknamed the “City Beautiful" but also known as the 'Theme Park Capital of the World'..

The city started as a small town named Jernigan, it was renamed in 1857 to its present-day name, probably after the character in Shakespeare's As You Like It. In 1856 Orlando became the county seat of Orange County, Florida. By the 1920s, Orlando had grown from a cattle town to a major citrus growing center and a popular resort. The city survived the Florida land boom of the 1920s, Florida's first real estate bubble, which burst in 1925.
