History

Winter Park is a city located in Central Florida, just north of Orlando. It has a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. Here's an overview of the history of Winter Park:

Founding and Early Development: Winter Park was founded in the late 19th century by Loring A. Chase and Oliver E. Chapman. The town was originally established as a winter resort destination for wealthy Northerners who wanted to escape the harsh winters. To attract visitors, Chase and Chapman named the town "Winter Park."

Rollins College: In 1885, Rollins College, Florida's first four-year college, was established in Winter Park. The college played a significant role in the development of the city, and it remains an integral part of the community today.
