Fascinating facts I’ve discovered about Orlando, Florida: - Orlando has more theme parks and attractions than any other city in the world. Disney World, Sea World and Universal World are just the beginning. There is something for everyone in the Greater Orlando Area, from Biblical theme parks to the former home of the best-known beatnik writer, Jack Kerouac.
- The Greater Orlando area contains the famous Kennedy Space Center.
- The population of the city grew from 185, 951 (according to the 2000 census) to 226, 168 in 2006. As it looks set to keep climbing, this would make investing in rental property a very smart move. Orlando Real Estate can help you here.
- Orlando is the city with the second largest number of hotel rooms in the USA.
- Orlando was founded in 1836 and was named after a local plantation owner whose name was found carved on a tree, possibly to mark his grave.
- For a short time, Orlando was called Jerrigan after a local cattleman.
- Orlando is home to the Florida Mall, one of the USA’s largest single storey malls. It boasts over 250 stores and its own hotel.
- Orlando has one sister city within the USA (Anaheim, California) and ten others throughout the world – in Spain, Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia, Iceland, France, Taiwan, Japan and Israel.
