History
Oviedo's roots go back to a tiny settlement of homes on the south shore of Lake Jesup in today's Seminole County. This settlement, known as Solarla's Wharf, boasted two general stores and a post office in 1865 and the homes of settlers had just begun to appear, attracted by the promise of a long growing season.
By 1869 several houses and a hotel had been built along its shores. A New York physician, Dr. Henry Foster, opened a convalescent home on this piece of real estate and encouraged his patients to come to the area to recuperate from illnesses.
In 1950 Oviedo was the second largest town in Seminole County with a population of 1,800. Nearly a million crates of celery and a third of a million crates of citrus were being shipped from Oviedo each year.
