 Lakeland was founded way back in 1885 and today is a
 pleasing blend of the old and new to suit most every taste.
 
 While today the general area is becoming a Mecca for 
 distribution, warehousing and light industry... in days gone
 by Lakeland's primary economical base was supported by
 citrus groves, cattle ranches, farming & phosphate mines.
 
 Today's population exceeds 171,000 in the near by greater
 Lakeland metropolitan area & over 472,000 in Polk County
 proper. We are only 45 minutes from Tampa on the west
 coast and less than an hour to Orlando and Disney World.
 
 Our area is renowned for it's outdoor activities, exceptional
 recreational facilities, water sports and all the many lakes
 from which we originally get our name.
 
 For more information on the Lakeland area we suggest you

 take an even closer look around.  (link opens a new window)
