History
The land that is now Land O' Lakes was taken from its Native American inhabitants in the 1830s as part of the Second Seminole War. By the 1840s, a stage coach line ran through the center of where the CDP is now located. Eventually, by the early 1900s, a railroad line ran through the CDP and a station was built. [4]
Throughout the 20th century, Land O' Lakes expanded and absorbed surrounding communities such as Denham, Ehren, and Gowers Corner. [5]
Dupree Gardens, one of Florida's original roadside tourist attractions, was located in what is now known as Land O' Lakes. [6] The name Land O' Lakes was suggested and thought of in 1949. On September 1950, the community was renamed Land O' Lakes. [7]
