Gotha

Tucked among the lakes of southwest Orange County, Gotha is a place whose character is shaped by central Florida’s low, water-laced terrain. This unincorporated community lies west of Orlando, in an area where residential streets, mature trees and small lakes create a markedly quieter setting than the city’s commercial corridors. The Butler Chain of Lakes extends just to the south, linking Gotha to one of the region’s best-known freshwater lake systems. Gotha was named in the late 19th century by German settler Henry Hempel after the city of Gotha in Germany, a small reminder of the community’s early roots.
