Orlando Florida
Orlando's history is as varied as the city itself.
From being inhabited by native Americans to being a melting pot of diverse people from around the world, this city has been through it all and made history along the way.
The Native Americans were the first inhabitants of what would become Orlando and arrived approximately 4,000 years ago after migrating across the Bering Strait from Asia into North America.
These tribes were small and dispersed due to climatic changes that caused plant life crucial for their survival to diminish. They subsisted mainly by hunting wild animals. In 1539 Spanish Explorer Hernando De Soto wandered through the area.
The first African-Americans started arriving in 1866 after being freed from slavery by the Emancipation Proclamation and passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Orlando's black population quickly grew because railroad employees needed employees, so railroads actively recruited blacks from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas to work on their projects all over Central Florida.
The city also became a destination for immigrants like Greeks, Italians, and Jews who came in the early 20th century searching for employment opportunities during America's industrialization period (1870 - 1920).
It was not until 1960 when Walt Disney announced plans to build Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando that this town really made history.
This announcement caused a population explosion, resulting in the addition of 24,000 jobs between 1969 and 1971. Orlando's population almost doubled from 1970 to 1980 due to this development project.
Even though the economy slowed down during the late 20th century, Orlando still continued growing into what it is today.
It now has over 225,000 businesses with 11 Fortune 500 companies calling it home.
The city also boasts more theme parks than any place on earth (13 total) attracting children and adults alike who flock there every year for some fun in all four seasons.
History of Disney World (the most famous website about Disney World history!) is part of our series offering information about prominent tourist attractions around the world.
We cover all continents including North American amusement parks, Asia theme parks, European monuments and landmarks, and Australia's great attractions.
Our carefully researched tourism information has expanded rapidly over the years as we have grown to become a popular reference website for parents planning family vacations.
