Winter Springs and the surrounding areas were first known by the Indian name Tuskawilla. The region was a center of commerce driven by its proximity to the wharves of Lake Jessup, where farmers and logging crews brought their goods for shipment to the northeastern markets. Cattle grazed along the spring-fed lakes and turpentine stills operated throughout a region that was sparsely populated until the 1960’s. Visitors these days are shocked to learn that there were fewer than 600 people living in this area when it was incorporated as North Orlando in 1959. People find that hard to believe because now Winter Springs has the largest geographic area, and the highest population, of any city in the county.
