About the Area

Orange County Is
Central Florida's
Theme Park Capital.

Orange County is the heart of Central Florida and home to the most visited tourist destination on Earth. Anchored by the City of Orlando, the county welcomes over 75 million visitors annually to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and dozens of other attractions — generating an enormous service economy.

But Orange County is far more than tourism. The region has become a serious technology hub — the 'Silicon Swamp' — with a growing cluster of defense/simulation companies, digital media firms, and SaaS startups. University of Central Florida, the nation's largest university by enrollment, feeds talent into every sector.

History & Economic Identity

Orange County's transformation from citrus groves to the world's most visited tourist destination is one of the most dramatic economic stories in American history. When Walt Disney secretly purchased 27,000 acres of swampland in the 1960s, he set in motion a chain of events that would turn a sleepy Central Florida county into a global entertainment and hospitality powerhouse.

Walt Disney World alone employs 75,000+ people — making it the single largest single-site employer in the United States. Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld add tens of thousands more. The Orange County Convention Center is one of the largest in the country, driving a massive meetings and events industry.

Today, Orange County balances its tourism identity with a growing tech sector — defense simulation companies near UCF, digital media firms, and a booming SaaS startup scene in downtown Orlando. That economic diversity creates an enormous range of bookkeeping needs across hospitality, technology, healthcare, and professional services.
