St. Cloud is an incorporated Osceola County city of about 59,000 residents (2020 census) on the southern shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga, founded in 1909 as a Grand Army of the Republic retirement colony for Union Civil War veterans. Lakefront Park lines the shore with a marina, sand beach, fishing pier and more than two miles of waterfront path, while the Narcoossee Road corridor between the city and Orlando's Lake Nona district has seen sustained large-scale residential construction.
