Winter Garden Homes

Originally incorporated in 1903, Winter Garden was largely an agricultural community, known for its vast citrus industry. Several winter freezes in the 1970′;s and1980′;s along with the opening of Walt Disney World, changed the nature of the city’;s economy. Although vestiges of the citrus industry still remain, today the city’;s Economic Development Department is targeting new businesses in the digital media, software and hardware, and medical industries.
