A History of Winter Springs, Florida
The city of Winter Springs was originally incorporated in 1959 as North Orlando, but this led to confusion that Winter Springs was part of Orlando on the northern end, even though it does not border Orlando. When the Winter Springs Development Corporation acquired the 3,500 acres of land to the east of North Orlando, then was annexed into North Orlando, it was decided by the council due to the unpopularity of the name, that the city would be renamed. While there were a lot of name choices that were submitted including Norlando, to keep a similarity in the name, the council chose Semoran as the name. This name was quickly outed by the public and by popular vote the city was named after the company for the area it acquired, Winter Springs. The City of Winter Springs was incorporated in 1972 and is the largest city by land area in Seminole County Florida.
