Proudly referring to its community the “Center of Good Living," the City of Ocoee proves that historic preservation and progressive growth can be harmonized successfully. In addition to specific sites like the Ocoee Christian Church and the Withers-Maguire House and Museum, the city celebrates and observes yesterday in lovely parks, quaint brick roads, and vintage buildings. At the same time, the community is home to a growing number of thriving businesses from Health Central Hospital to West Oaks Mall. Although the folklore about the city's name credit the word to a Native American term that means "no cold," modern Ocoee is more aptly described by the phrase, "all roads lead here." With the Florida Turnpike, the East West Expressway, State Road 50, and the new Western Beltway either leading to Ocoee or passing through the town, residents enjoy unparalleled transportation efficiencies. Downtown Orlando, the international airport, and major amusements are only a 20-minute drive from Ocoee.
