Discover Oakland
Oakland, in western Orange County, was settled in 1857 by James Gamble Speer, who bought all the land between Lake Apopka and Johns Lake. Its post office opened in 1860, and during the Civil War it was the only post office operating within today's Orange County, since Orlando's was closed from 1861 to 1866; Oakland's closed in 1867 and reopened in 1877.
More about Oakland
During the region's boom of the 1880s, Oakland became the commercial center of west Orange County, and the town was incorporated on November 1, 1887, and reincorporated in 1891. A fire in the business district, a run of freezes in the 1890s and the rise of nearby Winter Garden left it a quiet community. In 1940 Oakland passed Maitland to become the sixth-largest town in the county, falling back to seventh by 1950. Sources Wikipedia: Oakland, Florida
