Following our thrilling adventure at Boggy Creek, we made our way to the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee for a delightful picnic lunch. Located just a stone's throw from Walt Disney World, Kissimmee is known for its welcoming tourist accommodations and historic downtown area, perfect for walking tours, shopping, and dining.
The City of Kissimmee's website provides an intriguing look into the origins of the town's name. It suggests that "Kissimmee" is a modern spelling derived from a tribal word. According to the book Florida Indians and the Invasion from Europe by Jerald T. Milanich, the name may trace back to a Jororo village, one of Florida's lesser-known tribes. Historians like John Hann have studied Spanish documents detailing missions aimed at converting tribes like the Jororo to Christianity in the late 1600s. These records describe missions located near the Jororo’s main village, also referenced as Atissimi. Milanich notes that names like Atissimi, Jizimi, and Tisimi could have evolved into "Kissimmee." A Spanish map from 1752 even used the spelling “Cacema.”
Kissimmee's main strip is lively, showcasing a mix of local merchants and restaurants. The town was festively adorned, and even the local police department joined in on the pre-Christmas cheer.
Located on the north end of Lake Tohopekaliga, Kissimmee features "Toho Square," adding to its charming atmosphere. As we strolled through town, we admired several murals depicting local history. My husband tried to blend into a mural as a whimsical experiment?"though I’m not sure how successful he was!
Walking along Lakeshore Boulevard, we discovered a World War II memorial, adding a poignant historical element to our visit.
