Welcome
The city of Apopka was incorporated in 1882.
By 1912, growing ferns became one of the largest industries
in the Apopka area, and soon Apopka developed the
name "Fern City." More tropical plants were introduced to
the growers in the area in following years. This influx of
new foliage as a business opportunity took over the fern
industry, and the city of Apopka became known as "The
Indoor Foliage Capital of the World."
