ABA therapy in Ocoee
Known as "The Center of Good Living," Ocoee is a growing city in Orange County with a unique history and a forward-looking community. Home to over 47,000 residents as of 2020, Ocoee combines deep historical roots with its role as a key part of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area.
The city's story began in the mid-1850s, when a settlement was established on the shores of what is now called Starke Lake. This early community eventually adopted the name Ocoee, an anglicized Cherokee word meaning "apricot vine place." Ocoee’s growth was spurred by its pioneering role in Florida's citrus industry and the arrival of the railroad in the 1880s. Landmarks like the historic Withers-Maguire House stand as reminders of this formative period. Since its incorporation as a city in 1925, Ocoee has evolved into a bustling residential community.
