The Charming City of Winter Garden, Florida

The city of Winter Garden is a self-proclaimed “charming little city with a juicy past” and it certainly lives up to its motto. With a heritage steeped in Florida citrus, the town thrives on its past and continues to meet demands of the future, offering beautiful homes and a hometown lifestyle that has residents loving where they live. 

Where Winter Garden Got Its Start

Revitalized by the arrival of the Orange Belt Railway in 1886, the city was made popular by settlers for its fertile soil, mild temperatures and year-round growing season, making citrus a juicy “cash crop” for the region.

By the early 1940s, Winter Garden was the largest citrus shipping point in the world with eight packing houses within the city limits and a juice plant specifically designed to provide overseas World War II soldiers vitamins through canned orange juice.

Recently, residents and developers have poured into the reestablishment of the community, and it’s no surprise that the “juice” was worth the proverbial squeeze, as Winter Garden is thriving once again.

Small Town Life, Blossoming City Culture

Today, Winter Garden is home to over 30,000 residents and some of the most sought-after real estate in the central Florida region. With a quaint downtown, multiple family-friendly parks and playgrounds, the city of Winter Garden continues to be the epitome of “small town living” while expanding to meet the demand of middle and high-income housing projects.

Though the citrus industry may not carry the city anymore, it’s obvious that something is still growing. In fact, Winter Garden was recently ranked as one of the fastest growing suburbs by Forbes and is blooming with new business, culture, shopping and dining opportunities.
