Maitland is one of the oldest incorporated suburban municipalities in Central Florida. The area was previously inhabited by the Native Americans and was named after Fort Maitland, which was built in 1838 on the western shore of Lake Fumecheliga (today known as Lake Maitland) during the Second Seminole Indian War. After the war, the fort was torn down and the settlement remained and came to be known as Maitland. After the war, the area was put into extensive citrus production.
