==History==
Before the opening of the [[Cherokee Outlet]] for settlement, this community was called Cherokee, but the name was changed to Orlando, when a post office was opened on July 18, 1889.<ref name="EOHC-Orlando"/>

Early Orlando had a colorful history. In 1892, [[Oliver Yantis]], a member of the [[Wild Bunch|Doolin Gang]], was wounded and captured outside of the town. He was brought into Orlando, where he died. In 1896, a group of [[con artists]] bought some homesteads near the town, salted them with gold nuggets and started a gold rush. Several townspeople lost a great deal of money before the plot was exposed. In 1902, a woman who had bought adulterated kerosene for the lamps in her house. The impure material exploded when she lit the lamps, starting a fire that killed her, two children and spread to several nearby houses.<ref name="EOHC-Orlando"/>

A 1927 tornado killed two people and destroyed several houses. Construction of Lake Carl Blackwell in the 1930s forced about 100 families that had regularly traded in Orlando to move away.<ref name="EOHC-Orlando"/>

Passenger train service through Orlando ceased after World War II ended, and construction of I-35 caused the town to lose most of its commercial highway traffic after 1964.<ref name="EOHC-Orlando"/>
