Bithlo is a census-designated place and an unincorporated community in Orange County, Florida, United States. The population was 8,268 at the 2010 census,[4] up from 4,626 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The Bithlo Post Office opened in 1922.[5] For 20 years in the early 20th century, Bithlo was an incorporated town, but in 1929 ceased to function as a town due to economic hardship. By 1941, the town council meetings had ended and in 1944 the Okeechobee Railroad Branch was abandoned.[6] After the end of World War II, the town became known as a waste dump and pollution site.[6] It was in 1970 when the residents of Bithlo petitioned the state legislature to revoke the town's charter.[6] The city was finally unincorporated in 1977, an act which was not finalized until 1982 due to outstanding bonds and legal problems.[6][7]

Bithlo is the location of several of the broadcasting towers for the digital television stations in the Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne market. It is also home to Bithlo Park and the East Orange Babe Ruth youth baseball and softball program.

Geography

Bithlo is located at {{Coord|28|33|N|81|6|W|type:city}} (28.5525, -81.1058).[8]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 28.2 km² (10.9 mi²). 27.6 km² (10.7 mi²) of it is land and 0.5 km² (0.2 mi²) of it (1.84%) is water.

Name origin

"Bithlo" derives from the Muskogee word pilo ("canoe").[9] The {{Angle bracket|l}} represents a lateral fricative {{IPA|/ɬ/}} which was often transcribed {{Angle bracket|thl}}. The unaspirated {{IPA|/p/}} of Muskogee is acoustically as similar to English voiced and unaspirated {{IPA|/b/}} as to English voiceless and aspirated {{IPA|/pʰ/}}.
