Lakeland Acres Florida Market History
Lakeland is a city in Polk County, Florida, United States, located approximately midway between Tampa and Orlando
along Interstate 4.

Lakeland was first settled in the 1870s and began to develop as the rail lines reached the area in 1884. It was
incorporated 1 January 1885. The town was founded by Abraham Munn (a resident of Louisville, Kentucky), who
purchased 80 acres (320,000 m2) of land in what is now downtown Lakeland in 1882 and platted the land for the
town in 1884. Among the names considered (and rejected) for the town by its residents were Munnville, Red Bug and
Rome City.

The Florida boom resulted in the construction of many significant structures in Lakeland, a number of which are
today listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This list includes the Terrace Hotel, New Florida Hotel
(Regency Towers), Polk Theatre, Promenade of Lake Mirror, Polk Museum of Art (not a product of the 20's boom),
Park Trammell Building (formerly the Lakeland Public Library and today the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce), and
others. The city also has several historic districts with many large buildings built during the 1920s and 1940s. The
Cleveland Indians held spring training here from 1923 to 1927 at Henley Field Ball Park. Parks were developed
surrounding Lake Mirror including Barnett Children's Park, Hollis Gardens, and the newest, Allen Kryger Park.
