History
Located just three miles north of Orlando in Orange County, the city, which consists of nine square miles and over 28,000 residents, is known for its Old World charm, elegant homes, bricked streets, extensive tree canopy, shopping and dining opportunities, Rollins College, and several world-class museums.
Specialties
Described by some as a small New England village with a European flavor, evidenced by the many quaint shops and restaurants, Winter Park is as beautiful as it is unique. In addition to its town-and-gown relationship with Rollins College, the oldest private college in Florida, the city has developed significant partnerships among area businesses, schools, cultural organizations, civic groups, and neighborhood associations.
