Lakeland, Florida was incorporated
January 1, 1885. The town was founded by Abraham Munn, who
purchased 80 acres of land in what is now downtown Lakeland
in 1882 and platted the land for the town in 1884. Munn was
a resident of Louisville, Kentucky. Among the names considered
(and rejected) for the town by its residents were Munnville,
Red Bug and Rome City. It is reassuring that farsightedness
prevailed in the selection of the name.
For a short time, Lakeland had a rival on the south side of
Lake Parker, the largest lake in the city. That town was Acton.
It had a church before Lakeland did, and more importantly,
a railroad depot. Under mysterious circumstances the depot
burned, and shortly thereafter a larger, modern structure
was built in Lakeland. Acton began to decline and was gone
by 1906. By the mid-1890’s some 25 trains were stopping in
Lakeland each day. Because of the excellent railroad service,
progressive outlook, attractive location and elevation (227
feet), the community grew and prospered.
