Few cities in Florida have a history as closely tied to a planned settlement for Union veterans of the Civil War as Saint Cloud. Founded in 1909 as a retirement community, it grew beside East Lake Tohopekaliga, part of the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. The lakefront remains central to local life, with parks and access for boating and fishing along the shore. Saint Cloud Heritage Museum preserves the story of the early colony and its settlers. Southeast of Orlando, the city has maintained a distinct identity amid the rapid growth of central Florida.
