City Information
About Lakeland, FL
Lakeland is in central Florida. Historically, the Spanish and other Europeans did not settle in the area because the territory was not of much interest to them since it was far from the Florida coastline. It took until 1885 for the city to be founded by Abraham Munn. Mr. Munn owned 40 acres or so and turned it into the town of Lakeland.
The area thrived as one of the best places in the world to grow citrus due to the abundance of fresh water for irrigation. Even in contemporary times, it accounts for about one-quarter of all the citrus production in the entire United States. That is why it is nicknamed the “World’s Citrus Center.”
As the town grew, many of the citrus groves were converted to housing tract subdivisions. As reported by the 2020 Census, the population is 112,641.
