The first orange trees in Florida were planted in the 1500s by Spanish explorers, with the earliest documented planting occurring around 1565. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that orange cultivation began to expand significantly, particularly with the introduction of sweet Oranges. This set the stage for Florida to become a major player in the citrus industry.

The state's warm sub-tropical climate and abundant rains helped grow the juiciest oranges available and the first orange grove appeared in 1830 on Merritt Island.
