The City of Longwood may not be one of the largest cities in Central Florida, but it ranks among the oldest, dating roughly from the end of the Second Seminole War.
During the first half of the 1800's, several forts were established in Central Florida as bases for military action. When the threat of Seminole Indian attacks receded, many settlers moved to Longwood and established orange groves and other crops in the area. They sent word to the North, speaking of the Florida climate and warm weather. Soon, more and more moved to the Central Florida area. Longwood soon became inundated with entrepreneurs, small business owners, churches and houses. Many of these early buildings are still in existence today in downtown Longwood and many are on the National Register of Historic Places.
New economic and development opportunities were brought to the area in the 1960's and 1970's, fueled by both the space industry and the development of Walt Disney World and other attractions. The City of Longwood prides itself on providing a favorable atmosphere to the development and enhancement of commercial and industrial uses.
