Swans glide across Orlando's Lake Eola about 1915, in the early days of a tradition that continues today. First introduced at Lake Lucerne, swans soon became a fixture at Park Lake and at Lake Eola, now the city's central park. Early Orlando's most notable swan, Billy, was famed for chasing schoolchildren and was such a character generally that he remains, a fine example of taxidermy, in the collection of the Orange County Regional History Center.
