Living in Apopka, made simpler.
Apopka is an incorporated city in northwest Orange County, established in 1882 and nicknamed the 'Indoor Foliage Capital of the World' for the greenhouse and ornamental-plant industry that grew out of its 1920s fern trade. It sits between Wekiwa Springs State Park and Lake Apopka, Florida's fourth-largest lake, whose former north-shore muck farms were bought out under the 1996 Lake Apopka Restoration Act and now form a roughly 20,000-acre restoration area.
