Winter Park, Academic enclave in Orange County, Florida, United States
Winter Park stretches across an area north of Orlando, featuring Park Avenue with its retail stores, art galleries, museums, and a golf course.
The settlement started in 1858 when David Mizell Jr. purchased an 8-acre homestead, initially naming it Lake View before becoming Winter Park in the 1880s.
Rollins College, established in 1885 as Florida's first four-year college, continues to influence the educational landscape of Winter Park through various programs.
The Winter Park Public Library, relocated to a new campus in 2021, provides extensive resources and services to residents throughout the year.
A notable sinkhole emerged in West Winter Park during May 1981, reaching 320 feet in width and 90 feet in depth, consuming vehicles and streets.
