The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Conway is a census-designated place and an unincorporated area in Orange County, Florida, United States. As of the 2020 census, Conway had a population of 13,596. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. Settled in the 1850s, Conway was an important place in the early 1900s. One of the first five paved highways built in Orange County was the brick Conway Road from Orlando to Conway, running along what is now Briercliff Drive, Curry Ford Road, and Conway Road, ending at Anderson Road, the center of Conway.

Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 13,467 people in 2010, 13,596 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1975.
