Winter Park, one of Florida's oldest cities, is located just a few miles north of downtown Orlando, Florida and in both Orange County and Seminole County. Winter Park possesses old-world charm with its beautiful moss-draped oaks, stately cypress trees, picturesque lakes and many scenic parks. It was founded as a resort destination for wealthy New England industrialists before the turn of the 20th century. What comes to mind when I think of Winter Park is its abundance of art & culture plus the shopping experience it has to offer.
