[edit] Oviedo on the Park

The city of Oviedo is currently planning a brand new downtown development just southeast of the current 'old downtown'. The new town center will be a mixed-use development including townhomes, single family living, apartment homes, restaurants, retail, and a planned amphitheater.

Phase I is due to commence construction in the first quarter of 2007.[3]

[edit] Oviedo chickens

Oviedo has always been known for a population of chickens that roam the downtown area. About thirty chickens inhabit the area around the historic downtown shopping center, sometimes stopping traffic as they cross the roads. Ironically, they tend to congregate behind the Popeye's Chicken restaurant. The Oviedo chicken population grew in 1994 when a lone chicken appeared on a nearby office of Land-Tech Surveying & Mapping Corp. Owner P.R.(Rick) Burns and crew fed the chicken - and soon it gave birth to 14 chickens, which has helped maintain the population seen in Oviedo today.

[edit] Hurricane season of 2004

In August of 2004 the northwestern side of Hurricane Charley passed directly over Oviedo while still a Category 2 storm. More than half the city as well as much of the surrounding unincorporated areas had no power for 5-7 days. No school was in session county-wide for one full school week. The damages ranged from toppled oaks to roofless homes. The worst damage was in Palm Valley, a mobile home retirement community less than a mile from UCF. The damages that came out of Oviedo is considered to be the worst in Seminole County history. Barely a month later Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne further battered the area resulting in additional damage and power outages but did not reach the level of Charley's fury.
