Details of Kissimmee and the Ticket Luck value
A city in Osceola County, Florida , USA, Kissimmee was founded as Allendale but later on renamed as Kissimmee when recognized as a city in 1883. The population estimate as per 2006 is 60,894. Hamilton Disston of Philadelphia is responsible for its growth who lent a sizable share of land for drainage operation purposes. As part of contract, Disston volunteered to drain the southern lands of Florida hence entitling him to own half of all the successfully drained land. This deal made Disston the largest single landowner in the United States. Disston's endeavors called for a small steamboat industry to transport people and goods along the new waterway. The Kissimmee shipyard managed to build most of these steamships, which brought a revolutionary concept. Incidentally, the South Florida Railroad eventually developed going from the end of its line from Sanford to Kissimmee.
This helped made the town on Lake Tohopekaliga a transportation hub for Central Florida. In February 1885, the Kissimmee City Street Railway was integrated with the Florida Legislature. The prime time of Kissimmee was however temporary. More and more railroads started being constructed breaking the superiority of steamships for transporting freight and passengers. By 1885, the South Florida Railroad was laid down till Tampa. In 1893, the worst depression hit U.S. destroying land speculation and unsteady debt. Hamilton Disston closed his Kissimmee land operation. After that, back to back freezes in two successive years severely damaged the citrus industry. Due to the freezes, together with South Florida's development and the relocation of steamship operations, Kissimmee was left reliant on cattle-raising.
Ranching remained a big contributor to local economy in Kissimmee till the opening of nearby Walt Disney World in 1971. Then, tourism and development replaced cattle ranching by a large extent. Still however, cattle ranches are still functioning, especially in the southern part of Osceola County.
