Garden Information |

It's easy to see why Winter Garden is "A Great Place to Live." On
any given day a stroll down Plant Street will uncover a slice of
small-town life at its best. In the heart of the downtown, one can
see the successful efforts of redevelopment - quaint stores,
restaurants, and the West Orange Trail all enhance the charm and
quality of life of this small West Orange County community.
Consisting of approximately 17 square miles and a population of
28,440, Winter Garden is well on its way to becoming a premier
Florida community. It's no secret that West Orange County has some
of the best schools in the state of Florida. Twelve elementary
schools, three middle schools, and three high schools serve the West
Orange communities. Winter Garden is also the home to Westside
Technical Center, a state-of-the-art vocational training institute.
Higher education opportunities include the University of Central
Florida, Valencia Community College, Rollins College, and a host of
private college satellite campuses.
According to
Blackman’s 1927 History of Orange County, many
Winter Garden settlers were descendents of the
Beulah Pioneers located two miles south of
Winter Garden where Henry Harrell Farms was
located in 1857. First incorporated in 1903
through Orange County, the town’s charter was
not adopted until September 25, 1908 with 25
residents present to vote on incorporating; 23
for and 3 against. The initial incorporated
limits ran one mile east and west, and one mile
and a half north and south. The name was first
established as the Town of Winter Garden in
1908. The first elected officials included; A.
B. Newton as Mayor, G. T. Smith as Clerk, J. S.
Merritt as Clerk, G. J Strozier, J. L. Dillard,
R. R. Roper, B. T. Boyd and L.D. Jones as
Aldermen.
There are several versions on the origin of
Winter Garden’s name; back in the 1880’s when
several sawmill workers were having lunch they
spit tomato seeds onto the ground and they grew
well throughout the mild winter and when a good
crop was produced, they named the area around
the mill Winter Garden; A. B. Newton’s doctor
recommended he move to Florida for his health
and after it proved to be beneficial he named
the area after his doctor, Dr. Gardiner; a group
of growers met for a picnic at Plant and Main
Streets, built a small railroad depot and needed
a name for the stop; a prominent owner on the
western shores of Lake Apopka, David E.
Washburn, named the town; and yet another
suggests the late Mrs. Frank Davis, of Apopka
(then Mrs. Waite) named the town.
