Orlando is known internationally as a tourist destination, attracting fifty million visitors each year to its numerous resorts and parks. In all that excitement, it's easy to overlook the city's interesting past. In the 1800s, the area was embroiled in the Seminole Wars, and Fort Gatlin was constructed to shield citizens from attacks. Soon, a city grew around the fort. During the cowboy era, thousands of cattle, ranchers and cowboys crossed the central Florida terrain moving livestock. Those pioneers soon moved to farming, and Orlando became the center of the Florida citrus industry. Join author and historian James C. Clark as he reveals the remarkable history of one of the world's most popular destinations.

There's more to Orlando than mouse ears. Long before Walt Disney arrived, Seminole Indians lived here, in the swamplands of central Florida. Over the years, Orlando evolved into a modern city, but it wasn't until 1971 that it began its transformation into what it is today: one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world. See how Orlando grew from humble swampland into a modern mecca of theme parks, big business, and retail in this new edition of the Then and Now series. Witness the amazing transformation of thousands of acres of orange groves as they became Disney World, Epcot Center, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. Take a glimpse into Orlando's dynamic past as you tour its historic downtown district. See then-and-now images of the Old Orlando Railroad depot, the Bumby Hardware Building and Slemon's Department Store. With Art Deco treasures, magnificent Beaux Arts and Queen Anne buildings, and red-tiled Mediterranean roofs, Orlando boasts an incredible range of architectural styles. See some of the city's best-loved old buildings, as they were and as they are today. Orlando hosts millions of visitors every year. This exciting Then and Now book makes a great souvenir or gift.

Emerging as Florida's largest inland city, Orlando in its infancy more resembled the Old West than the Old South-a 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 city's 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.
