The city of Orlando, located in sunny central Florida, has experienced enormous growth and is internationally known as a popular tourist destination. Founded in 1844, Orlando was a small town for more than a century. With the arrival of the South Florida Railroad in 1880, Orlando was on its way to rapid growth. However, no one could have predicted the extent of what was to come. This growth was intensified with the development of the Cape Canaveral space complex in 1950.
Two decades later, Orlando experienced rapid growth again on an incredible scale when Walt Disney World opened its gates to tourists in 1971. Located 22 miles southwest of Orlando, the Disney complex alone covers some 28,000 acres. In addition to having Florida's largest hotel (with 1,509 rooms), Walt Disney World has a variety of thrilling attractions, including the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Though Orlando has other industries, the tourist industry is by far the leading area of employment for the region. Because of this increase in tourism, Orlando has undergone an amazing amount of growth, which will likely continue given the popularity of this city as a world tourist destination.
