Ocoee

Tucked along the southeastern side of Lake Apopka in Central Florida, Ocoee is a place whose character is shaped by the meeting of lakeside lowlands and the expanding Orlando area. The West Orange Trail, a paved rail-trail on the former Orange Belt Railway corridor, runs through the city and links it with neighboring communities for walking and cycling. In the historic district, the 1888 Withers-Maguire House preserves a local example of Queen Anne–style architecture. Ocoee also confronts a harder chapter of its past: the 1920 Ocoee massacre, a racist attack on Black residents amid efforts to vote, is central to public remembrance.
