Growth was spurred by the development of the Disney theme park in 1970, as the entire Central Florida region became popular as a vacation and retirement retreat. Following the annexation of Tuscawilla (a planned unit development) in 1971, Winter Springs was incorporated in June, 1972, becoming the largest city in land area in Seminole County. Population continued to expand geometrically during the 1980s and into the '90s, reaching 26,000 in 1995. Another 1600 acres were annexed, almost entirely in the region between Lake Jesup and SR 434/419. Located ~'{t. to Int.Qr8h3.R~tr~ of the Central Florida GreeneWay (SR 417) and just north of the planned four-lanes of SR 434, this area will include mixed use, residential and commercial development. . . . - July 5, 1995 COPY: WS-002 Winter Springs Brochure Draft 2 Page 2 of 5 Panels 2. 3, & 4 (continued) By the end of 1997, Winter Springs will be an integral part of a suburban development sphere encircling urban Orlando, linked by a multi-lane road system with the capacity to carry more than 30,000 vehicles a day through its municipal limits.
