Some
historians date Orlando's name to around 1837 when a soldier
named Orlando Reeves allegedly died in the area, during the
war against the Seminole Indian tribe. It seems, however,
that Orlando Reeves (sometimes Rees) operated a sugar mill
and plantation about 30 miles (50 km) to the north at Spring
Garden in Volusia County, and pioneer settlers simply found
his name carved into a tree and assumed it was a marker for
his grave site. They then referred to the area as "Orlando's
grave" and later simply "Orlando." During the Second Seminole
War, the U.S. Army established an outpost at Fort Gatlin,
a few miles south of the modern downtown, in 1838. But it
was quickly abandoned when the war came to an end. Prior to
being known as its current name, Orlando was known as Jernigan,
after the first permanent settler, cattleman Aaron Jernigan,
who acquired land along Lake Holden by the terms of the Armed
Occupation Act of 1842. But most pioneers did not arrive until
after the Third Seminole War in the 1850s. |
