Where Is Poinciana?
When I tell people that I live in Poinciana, Florida, they are surprised when they can't find it in their atlas. Since Poinciana is unincorporated, it doesn't always show up. It has grown from 10,000 people just twenty years ago to about 60,000 or 65,000 now.
To help them find Poinciana, I give some clues. "It's in Central Florida," I say. They still can't find it. Next I tell them that it is below Orlando. Usually their face brightens and they nod. They know where Orlando is on the map.

Poinciana... Strange, But Poetic Sounding Name
If you aren't from the south, you probably are unfamiliar with the poinciana tree. This boldly colored tree looks great in Florida landscaping. That's where Poinciana, Florida got its name.

Kissimmee Is Just Up the Road from Poinciana
Actually Poinciana is lumped under Kissimmee by the U.S. Postal Service. If you put in Poinciana's zip code, Kissimmee shows up, not Poinciana.
This is a little goofy, as the population of Poinciana is over 60,000 people and Kissimmee is much less. The reason for this is that Poinciana is unincorporated.
