The Florida orange, specifically the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, likely in southern China or India. It was brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, with Florida becoming a major production area due to its favorable climate and soil conditions. Over time, Florida developed its own varieties, contributing significantly to the state's agricultural identity and economy.
