Orlando Florida traces its roots back to the 1830s during a period marked by the Seminole Wars where the U.S. Army built Fort Gatlin south of the present-day Orlando city limits to protect settlers from attacks by Native Americans. By 1840 the area around Fort Gatlin was settled leading to the growth of a small community that by 1856 was known as Jernigan named after the Jernigan family who established the first permanent settlement. The name Orlando was adopted in 1857 though the origin of the name is subject to various legends one of the most popular claims it was named after Orlando Reeves a soldier who allegedly died in the area during the Second Seminole War. The city was officially incorporated in 1875 and by the late 19th century Orlando became a significant hub for Florida's citrus industry. The Record Company unknown
