Located on Orlando's northeast side, Oviedo is directly north of the University of Central Florida, a large research university, and Central Florida Research Park. It is also home to Seminole State College-Oviedo Campus. Because of its location to UCF, Oviedo is fast-growing, home to about 30,000 residents and frequently listed as one of the country's best places to live. UCF is the nation's largest university, enrolling roughly 64,000 students a year. It is a space-grant university with a sprawling campus of 1,415 acres.
Oviedo was once a rural community and it still features some of its farmland roots, from its historic buildings to the chickens roaming through downtown (yes, really). You may even see a "chicken crossing" sign or two as you make your way through the city. Oviedo's Chickens date back to 1875, when settlers first arrived to grow crops and raise livestock. Somehow, a few of the chickens ended up escaping, only to reappear in the 1970s -- today, there are roughly 30 chickens roaming the city streets.
