Emerging as Florida"s largest inland city, Orlando in its infancy more resembled the Old West than the Old Southóa frontier town born in the days of the Seminole Wars. The free-spirited early years of cattle ranching and cowboys on the palmetto prairie gave way to a series of booms throughout the cityís history. Whether it was railroads, real estate, citrus, or tourism, Orlando has been a community able to cultivate growth through big dreams and an ambitious attitude. ÝÝ
