Title
Orlando Collection
Description
The Orlando area was originally occupied by the Creek and Seminole tribes. In 1838, Fort Gatlin was erected on the shores of Lake Gatlin, just a few miles south of present-day Downtown Orlando. Centered around Church Street, Orlando became a city in 1884.<br /><br />Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s.

This press release provides full insight into the design ideas that went into the development of the Florida Mall, as well as the companies future initiatives in the region.

Kissimmee Collection
Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Kissimmee, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
During the 1700s, the Kissimmee area was inhabited by the Creeks and by African runaway slaves. The original Euro-American name of Kissimmee was Allendale, named so in honor of Confederate Major J. H. Allen, the operator of the first cargo steamboat along the Kissimmee River. The town served as a small trading post on the banks of Lake Tohopekaliga.
Following the Civil War, Hamilton Disston, the owner of Disston Saw Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, purchased four million acres of land in the area at a total cost of $1 million. In 1881, Disston began to drain the area and deepen the Kissimmee River, thus allowing goods to be shipped into the Gulf of Mexico. When the city was incorporated in 1883, it was renamed Kissimmee.
During the 1920s, Kissimmee, as well as much of Florida, experienced a land boom. The citrus industry and the cattle industry flourished during the following decade. Kissimmee experienced later periods of growth in the 1950s and the 1970s, as a result of the opening of Walt Disney World.
