OSCEOLA COUNTY
Named after Chief Osceola, Osceola is the region's largest county in area and smallest in population. A wondrous natural setting is the backdrop for life in the county. Notable areas include Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Kissimmee Waterway and Shingle Creek, where the fishing and boating are known worldwide.
Osceola County, is home to the Houston Astros spring training facility, the Silver Spurs Rodeo and a world-class softball facility. Valencia Community College is located within its borders for those pursuing a higher education.
Adjacent to famous attractions and economic-development initiatives, Osceola is beginning to emerge as a place to do business, as well. Quaker Oats, Pittsburgh Paint and Glass, and McLane Suneast are three major companies that call Osceola home. Recent residential additions, such as the mega community of Celebration, bode well for a county that is eager to grow.
