Lakeland is My Home – and I’d Love to Help Make it Yours As Well!
Hi, my name is Petra and I like to think that I’m one of the most dedicated and committed real estate agents in Lakeland Florida.
There’s so much beauty here in Lakeland Florida, and it’s history as a Florida town is quite interesting.
Lakeland’s history dates back as far as 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.
