Williamsburg (Williamsburg)
Williamsburg is a census-designated place (CDP) in Orange County, Florida, United States. The population was 7,646 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Williamsburg is located at 28.40972°N, -81.44583°W (28.409817, -81.445917).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 9.7 km2 (3.8 mi2), of which 9.5 km2 (3.7 mi2) is land and 0.2 km2 (0.1 mi2) (1.87%) is water.
Williamsburg is a large subdivision bounded roughly on the north by the Beachline Expressway, on the south by the Central Florida GreeneWay, on the east by Shingle Creek and on the west by International Drive. The main intersection of the community is at Orangewood Blvd. and Central Florida Parkway.
In the early 2000s, Williamsburg's Homeowners Association worked with the Orange County Board of County Commissioners to ensure that traffic from the Orange County Convention Center did not pass through the interchange between Orangewood Boulevard and the Beachline, which would expand to connect to a southern extension of Universal Boulevard. The result was an interchange that directed a bulk of southbound Universal Boulevard traffic onto the Beachline, with only one lane passing under to connect to Orangewood Boulevard.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
