Orange County, named in 1845 for the prevalent fruit in the area, was a major citrus producer for many years. Citrus production was at its peak in the early 1970s with some 80,000 acres in full bloom. The 1980s brought devastating freezes that irrevocably damaged the citrus industry in this area. While the sweet smell of orange blossoms can still be found in a few active groves, the majority of these locations are now sprouting new home developments. The warm Central Florida climate draws many to this sought-after location that offers many different types of housing options in the form of affordable single-family home subdivisions, comfortable condos, and luxurious golf course communities.
