Orlando Haunts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl
The history of Orlando has left spirits running rampant in its streets, especially in some of its most haunted bars, which we’ve researched and added to our Orlando Haunted Pub Crawl!
The history of Orlando started in 1838 at the height of the Seminole Wars. Fort Gatlin, south of present day Orlando, was established by the U.S. Army to protect settlers from Native American attacks. By 1840, a tiny community had grown up around the Fort. It was known as Jernigan, named after the Jernigan family who established the first settlement in the area.
Six years later, the settlement was expanding north, and the community officially changed its name to Orlando. While no one is sure of where its name really came from, one thing about the city is for certain. It’s a hotspot for nightlife, restaurants, and you guessed it – ghosts!
