Lake City
Lake City is located in the North Central area of Florida, about 40 miles down from the Georgia line. It’s about 60 miles to the beach east or west.
One of the nice things about living in Lake City is that although you have all the convenience of a large community, with lots of nice shops, technology-related businesses and such, with Lake City you still have a small community flavor where folks lounge about on the front porch of an evening and give you a wave as you pass by. Lake City is probably best known for the Olustee Battlefield Reenactment that they hold every year. This is a big event with thousands attending from all over. Lake City, Florida’s original name was “Alligator or Gator Town,” named after Chief Alligator, whose tribe resided in the area before being ousted by our early settlers. City founders later decided that having a name like “Alligator Town” wasn’t conducive to getting people to move to Lake City, so changed the name.
