The Hamlin Orange originated in Florida in 1879 produced by Mr. A.G. Hamlin. This is a round, sweet, juicy, and thin skinned orange with very few seeds making it great juiced or eaten fresh. Its sweetness is accelerated in mildly cold weather giving the Hamlin a wider range of potential cultivation. The development of new orange varieties with so many superior characteristics has over time pushed some of the older varieties out of production, but that has been good for both consumers and growers.
