Ocoee on the Western Edge of the Orlando Metro
Ocoee is a city of roughly 43,600 in Orange County, positioned west of Orlando along State Road 50 and the Western Beltway. The name derives from a Seminole word associated with the area's original inhabitants. Founded in the 1850s, Ocoee was a citrus-producing community for much of its history. The 1920 Ocoee massacre, in which a white mob killed an estimated 30 to 60 Black residents and burned the African-American neighborhood to the ground, is one of the worst incidents of racial violence in Florida's history and went largely unacknowledged for decades.
Modern Ocoee bears little resemblance to its agricultural past. Residential development accelerated in the 1990s and 2000s as Orlando's suburban ring expanded westward. The West Oaks Mall area, straddling the Ocoee-Orlando boundary along West Colonial Drive, established a commercial anchor. Lakefront parks along Lake Starke and Lake Lotta provide waterfront recreation within the city, and the West Orange Trail, a 22-mile paved path built on a former rail corridor, passes through Ocoee on its route between Apopka and the coast.
The city's location along the turnpike system gives residents access to both the Orlando theme park corridor to the south and the employment centers of downtown Orlando and Lake Nona to the east. New construction continues to fill in remaining vacant parcels, and Ocoee's population has nearly doubled since 2000. The school system is operated by Orange County Public Schools, the fourth-largest district in the state.
