"In the heart of Central Florida lies St. Cloud, an amiable city with a bright future and a colorful past. Located in Osceola County, only a short distance from the Sunshine State's most-visited tourist attractions, the city has benefited greatly from its unique locale.
But long before the city attracted sightseers, it was a booming sugar exporter and a haven for retired Civil War veterans. The town, named for a Paris suburb, was incorporated in 1911 as a "soldier's colony" and was touted for its "health, climate, and productiveness of the soil."
Today, the St. Cloud celebrates its diverse population, ideal location, and agricultural history. Plan a visit to the museum to learn more about the town's rich history. (Text from Images of St. Cloud, by Jim Robison and Robert A. Fisk)
