Nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of Greater Orlando lies the charming city of Belle Isle. But don’t let its proximity to the theme park capital fool you. Belle Isle has a unique charm and history all its own. The story of Belle Isle begins long before the arrival of theme parks. It starts with the Timucua people, who called this area home as early as the 9th century. Imagine their lives lived out along the shores of Lake Conway, one of the largest lakes in the region. Today, Belle Isle still boasts a close relationship with its waterways. In fact, over half of the city’s area is covered in water! Belle Isle has seen its share of change over the years. It was first incorporated as a town in 1924, only to be disincorporated in 1928. However, the spirit of community persevered, and Belle Isle rose again in 1954, this time as a city. Today, Belle Isle is a thriving community with a council-manager government. As you stroll through its streets, take a moment to appreciate the tranquil atmosphere and the glimpses of its storied past. Belle Isle offers a refreshing change of pace from the excitement of Orlando, while still being just a stone’s throw away from the action.
