Originally called Mosquito County in 1824, Orange County is home to the city of Orlando. Renamed Orange County after the citrus industry boomed in 1845 this county has experienced consistent change. With important historic sites such as Ft. Christmas and numerous early Florida settlements from the late 19th century, this county is seeing more attention from local archaeologists. Orange County also hosts the University of Central Florida.
