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.
