The City of Winter Springs lies in south - central Seminole County,
just south of the western portion of Lake Jessup. The City is
adjacent to the eastern limits of Longwood, the northeast limits
of Casselberry, and extends eastward five miles to Oviedo.
The topography is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills.
Lower ground elevations (less than 10 feet) surround the southern
portion of Lake Jessup. Higher elevations (up to approximately
70 feet) are found in the western sections of the City.

A Brief City History
�Z7
Incorporated in 1959 as the Village of North Orlando, the City of
less than 1200 persons grew to more than l 1S60. Growth
n
was spurred by the development of the Disey theme park in 1970,
as the entire Central Florida region became popular as a vacation
and retirement retreat. Following the annexation of the
Tuseawilla Planned Urban Development (P.U.D.) 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 24,000 in 1993. Another 1600 acres were
annexed, almost entirely in the region between Lake Jessup and
State Road (SR) 434, containing vast amounts of wetlands.
Located near the proposed expressway interchange of the Seminole
County Beltway and just north of the proposed four- laneing of SR
434, this area will include mixed use, residential and
commercial development.
By the end of 1997, Winter Springs will no longer be known as a
residential "bedroom" community near Orlando. It will become an
integral part of a suburban development sphere encircling urban
Orlando, linked by a multi -lane road system with.4he capacity to
carry more than 30,000 vehicles a day through its municipal
limits.
