About Apopka
Apopka is a city located in Orange County, Florida, just northwest of Orlando. The name "Apopka" is derived from the Seminole word "Ahapopka," which means "potato eating place." This name is a nod to the city's agricultural history, as it was once known as the "Fern City" due to its thriving fern industry. In fact, Apopka was once the fern capital of the world, with over 9,000 acres of ferneries.
Freight transportation has played a significant role in Apopka's development. The city is strategically located near major transportation routes, including State Road 429, which connects to Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike. This convenient access to major highways makes Apopka an ideal location for distribution centers and warehouses. The city is also served by the Apopka Expressway, a toll road that provides a direct link to downtown Orlando and the Orlando International Airport. These transportation connections have helped to attract businesses and stimulate economic growth in Apopka.
