Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rambot (talk • contribs) 22:23, 26 July 2003 (UTC)[reply]

When I plot the lat/long of Lake Butler (which I corrected from Lake Butter, since the lake right there is Lake Butler), it's right in downtown Windermere. What the hell is going on here? -[User:SPUI]— Preceding unsigned comment added by SPUI (talk • contribs) 12:19, 8 November 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Also Lake Butler is a town in Union County, so I have to make Lake Butler, Orange County, Florida. - SPUI— Preceding unsigned comment added by SPUI (talk • contribs) 12:51, 8 November 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Orange groves[edit]

This article currently says no commercial orange groves remain, but several people have changed this to very few. There was a big article in the paper when the last one closed several years ago. If you don't believe this, do your research before changing the article. When you find the name of the commercial orange grove that is still open, please list its name and location here on the talk page. There are still orange packing plants and wholesale distribution points in Orange County, but no groves. Those are all south, where it has not frozen since long before the pair of great freezes of the 80's. --ssd 04:56, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

And no, untended orange groves that are not harvested for commercial gain are not commercial orange groves. That's called a tax dodge. And these days, most of those are pine tree farms, as they require less maintainance. --ssd 04:58, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

During a visit several months ago, I notice well-maintained groves east of Lake Conway, south of the airport, and west of Orlando. -- 24.163.88.33

I live in Windermere and there are orange groves less than several hundred feet to the north and south of my house. I don't know who the owner is or who they are harvested for but they are not leaving the oranges there to rot. If I find out the name of the owner and obtain a source I will follow up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.146.150 (talk) 20:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Company Name is Beck Brothers Citrus Inc, 12500 Overstreet Rd, Windermere, FL 34786 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.145.74 (talk) 13:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Election controversy[edit]

In the 2001 U.S. election Orange County was at the center of a number of controversies about voter registration and alleged irregularities. - should this be the 2000 election? --65.3.137.171 04:16, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Even further.... were we at the center of those controversies? Orange County has an optical ballot system. The controversies came over the butterfly ballots used in other jurisdictions. --Kitch 12:43, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map request[edit]

It would be nice to have a map showing the placement of interior features and entities such as municipalities. -- Beland 22:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New here and came by to recommend using the Orange County InfoMap GIS tool to create maps with municipalities, etc. Leejernigan (talk) 23:10, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion underway[edit]

You all might be interested to know that there has been a move request to make the link Orange County become a redirect to Orange County, California. The article Orange County is currently a disambiguation page for the seven United States counties and other things named "Orange County". It would be replaced by a page called "Orange County (disambiguation)" which would show links to all the other Orange Counties. If you want to join the discussion, you can find it here: Talk:Orange County#Orange County redirect. --MelanieN (talk) 03:19, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
