Oakland, FL Real Estate
Established in 1887, Oakland grew from a small agricultural village to a thriving local city. In its heyday, it boasted a thriving downtown complete with a newspaper office, hotel, hospital, and even an opera house. Citrus freezes put a halt to the underlying economy, and later a devastating fire leveled the Oakland downtown. For a greater part of the 1900s, Oakland remained a sleepy little village content to move along quietly through the years with little change. More recently, Oakland has been swept up in the wave of dramatic growth in this southwest Orlando region.
