Orlando, Florida
The city of Orlando is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. As
of the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951 (metropolitan area
1,644,561). A 2005 U.S. Census Estimates population count gave the city
population was 213,233 (metropolitan area over 1.8 million). It is the
sixth-largest city in Florida, and its largest inland city. It is also
at the head of the Orlando-Kissimmee, Florida, Metropolitan Statistical
Area.. Additionally,Orlando is home to the second largest university in
Florida, the University of Central Florida.The city is well known for
the tourist attractions in the area, particularly the nearby Walt Disney
World Resort!
Arts and entertainment
Orlando has been the home of several notable acts since the mid
1990s, including Britney Spears, NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys, as well
as Creed, Trivium, From First to Last, matchbox twenty, Seven Mary
Three, DJ Icey, DJ Baby Anne and DJ Jimmy Joslin.
Sister Hazel and Less Than Jake are from near by Gainesville, as is
superstar Tom Petty. The hip hop music scene, metal scene, rock music
scene, Latino scene, are all active within the city and is largely home
to the Florida Breakbeat movement. Comedian Wayne Brady is also from
Orlando, as is actor Wesley Snipes. Orlando has also been called
Hollywood East because of numerous cinematic enterprises in the area.
Climate
Orlando has a warm and humid subtropical climate, and there are two
major seasons each year. One of those seasons is hot and rainy, lasting
from April until October (roughly coinciding with the Atlantic hurricane
season). The other is a cooler season (November through March) that
brings more moderate temperatures and less frequent rainfall. The area's
warm and humid climate is caused primarily by its low elevation and its
position relatively close to the Tropic of Cancer, and much of its
weather is affected by the movement of the Gulf Stream.
Geography
Orlando is rivaled only by the Twin Cities in the number of natural
lakes to be found in its metropolitan area. The Orlando area is home to
more than 100 lakes, the largest of which are Lake Apopka, Eustis,
Griffin, Harney, Harris, Jesup, Monroe, Sand Lake, Conway, and
Tohopekaliga. The region Orlando occupies is generally low-lying, the
only exception being minor sand hills formed by wave action in earlier
geological eras when sea level was higher.
