Lake Park History Though there’s no doubt that Lake Park, Georgia, used to belong to Native Americans, a combination of the shady treatment of the locals and the drafting of legitimate (yet unfavorable) treaties, caused southern Georgia to eventually fall into the hands of European settlers. In the 1800s, much of the land around Lake Park was distributed—literally through a luck-of-the-draw system—to a few American settlers. The relative peace and prosperity that followed in Lake Park was harshly disrupted by the onslaught of the Civil War just a few decades later.

In 1878, the city's first church opened. It became a unifying force in the community, almost as much as the railroad's arrival in the 1880s would become a diversifying force. After the hullabaloo about the railroad simmered down, manufacturing took Lake Park to new heights in the beginning of the 1900s. But only figuratively; unlike neighboring North Carolina, Georgia had no Wright Brothers. Instead, it had cotton gins and turpentine stills. In the mid-1900s, developer Burton Lee Mank decided that the land around Ponce De Leon and Balboa Lakes, which are both found in Lake Park, was the perfect site for his planned community. This planned community is responsible for the lingering suburban feel of Lake Park today.

There may only be around 500 people in this quaint town, but the area sure is rich in history. Lakes and Parks in Lake Park

The Francis Lake Golf Club is a stellar place to tee off. Just don't get p'd off if the party in front of yours is taking a little too long to move on to the next hole.
