Created through the division of Brevard County and Orange County, Osceola County was established in May of 1887. Included in the Statistical Metropolitan Area of Orlando, Osceola County is situated in the Eastern Central portion of Florida. The county covers a total area of 1,506 square miles, encompassing two incorporated cities and ten unincorporated communities. The county is the namesake of the Seminole tribal leader Osceola. The county is known for its place in the steamboat lore when former Confederate Major J.H. Allen navigated the first cargo steamboat down the Kissimmee River. The county largely developed as a result of the Hamilton Disston four-million-acre drainage operation. Because of the size of the operation, a steamboat industry responsible for the transportation of supplies and people was birthed, with the majority of boats built at the Kissimmee shipyard. The population growth of the county was responsible for the expansion of the Florida Railroad into Kissimmee. Following the departure of the steamboat industry to Lake Okeechobee, the county became a cattle farming community. Today, because of its proximity to Orlando and Disney, tourism and development drive the local economy.
The largest city and county seat is Kissimmee. Osceola County Stadium is a center for amateur baseball throughout the year, with the Houston Astros holding their annual spring training there. The County is the site of the Jim Evans Academy of Professional Umpiring, as well as the NCAA men’s soccer National Championship Tournament. Three institutions of higher education are located in the county: Valencia College, the University of Central Florida, and Johnson University Florida.
Known for its easy access to the theme parks of Orlando, Osceola County has popular entertainment venues of its own. Locals enjoy shopping at the Loop, a large outdoor mall, golfing at the variety of courses and Biking at The Shingle Creek Regional Trail. Additionally, Kissimmee offers swamp buggy rides, the Zipline Safari, and Sky Scrapes Balloon Tours. A classic car show is held in Old Town, and the Osceola County Historical Society maintains a village with authentic buildings and stables.
