History
Orlando's history dates back to the 19th century, originally established as a military outpost. The city grew rapidly with the arrival of the railroad in the 1880s, attracting settlers and tourists alike.
The post-World War II era saw a boom in tourism, largely due to the development of Walt Disney World in 1971. This transformed Orlando into a global tourist destination, shaping its economy and culture.
