Longwood is located in Seminole County just north of Orlando between Altamonte Springs and Deltona along Interstate 4 near Lake Jessup and Lake Apopka (part of the Orlando, Florida). There is also a Longwood, Pennsylvania. During the first half of the 1800's, several forts were established in Central Florida as bases for military action. When the threat of Seminole Indian attacks receded, many settlers moved to Longwood and established orange groves and other crops in the area. New economic and development opportunities were brought to the area in the 1960's and 1970's, fueled by both the space industry and the development of Walt Disney World and other attractions.
