Oviedo is a fast-growing Seminole County city that has managed to hold onto its distinctive small-town personality. Perhaps its most famous fun fact is the presence of chickens roaming around the historic downtown area, which have become unofficial local celebrities. The historic Lawton House is an important local landmark and home to the Oviedo Historical Society. The popular Taste of Oviedo is one of the community's signature annual events, bringing together food, entertainment, businesses, and families.
