The Town of Lady Lake’s centennial this year is a momentous occasion, providing an opportunity to honor the past, celebrate the present and envision the future of the community.

A week of centennial events in November, planned by Lady Lake Parks & Recreation, will bring together residents, visitors and partners to commemorate 100 years of history, culture and community spirit.

(The town of Lady Lake is celebrating it’s 100th anniversary.)

On Oct. 19, 1925, the Town of Lady Lake held its inaugural meeting, marking the official incorporation of the town. The area was originally inhabited by Seminole Indians and began to flourish as a settlement around 1883, with the establishment of a railway depot circa 1883–84, serving as a catalyst for growth and development.

Lady Lake has a rich history as a center along a bustling railway and a purveyor of citrus and watermelon, contributing significantly to the region’s agricultural heritage. The Lady Lake Historical Society Museum offers visitors an insightful journey into the past.

(The Lady Lake Water Tower has 1925 painted on it to let those know when the town was established. The town has faced significant growth the past two decades.)

The public is invited to participate in the various events and activities planned from Nov. 3 through Nov. 8 to celebrate this historic milestone.
