About
Windermere, Florida
Windermere is a town in Orange County, Florida,
in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the town
population was 1,897. According to the U.S. Census
Bureau's 2006 estimates, the town had a population
of 2,019.
Windermere
was established in 1889 and works hard to retain a
small town feel. For instance, many local streets
are dirt roads and street name signs are white concrete
posts.
Windermere
has been the residence of professional golfer Tiger
Woods since 1997 as well as other professional sports
figures. However, many celebrities such as Woods actually
live in the Isleworth gated community/subdivision
which is outside the town limits of Windermere but
utilize the Windermere mailing address. During late
2007 the Town of Windermere filed a proposal to annex
Isleworth and Butler Bay, another wealthy subdivision.
This was met with extensive debate from town residents
and an objection from Orange County, Florida which
stood to lose millions of dollars of property tax
revenue. After lengthy discussions, and battles with
the county, Isleworth remained in the county, but
Butler Bay was annexed into Windermere with over 90%
of its residents approving annexation via a mail in
ballot.
