KISSIMMEE ZOO
In 1932, the Kissimmee Board of Trade founded the Kissimmee Zoo. ALready bustling tourist town, many people who visited Kissimmee did not know that there was a Zoo, but all it took was one loud roar from the zoo's lion, and then they knew. The zoo was enjoyed and supported by the public. Local business owners showed their support and appreciation for the zoo animals. Some other names that showed support for the zoo were Milt Hinkle, a famous cowboy, and John Bronson. Aside from the lion, the zoo residents included alligators, raccoons, gorillas, deer, flamingos, monkeys, rattlesnakes, and birds. Sadly, the zoo was not kept up to standard and was voted to close on July 7, 1970, by the City Commission.

CAPTAIN CLAY JOHNSON
Captain Clay Johnson was a well-known and successful steamboat captain and businessman in the Kissimmee area. He was born in Illinois on the November 5, 1850 and spent most of his childhood and early adult years in New Orleans. In 1883, Johnson's brother in law invited him to move to the river territory that would soon become Osceola County to assist with Hamilton Disston's canal dredging operation in the Kissimmee River. Johnson had his own set of fleets from the 1880s to the 1920s. His first steamer was the Mamie Lown and some of his other boats were named after his wife and daughters. His fleet of steamboats would deliver supplies, trade goods, and move passengers around the Kissimmee River Valley. Captain Clay Johnson retired from the steamboat industry in 1926 and passed away five years later in 1931. For more information, please contact the Osceola County Historical Society.
We support the Census of 2020 and you should too! Below are some important reasons why...
• Census data guides local decision-makers and important community planning.
• Census data is used to determine locations for businesses, community centers, schools, churches, hospitals, new housing developments and a host of other community facilities to improve areas.
• Census data results determine how many seats your state gets in Congress to echo your voice on the Hill, as well as the boundaries for local and state legislative and congressional district.
• The Bureau of the Census protects their answers. It’s against the law to publicly release the responses in any way that could identify anyone. By law the Bureau cannot share any information with anyone including immigration and customs enforcement. All information is turned into statistics.
