History

Lake Park was laid out in 1889 along the route of the newly completed Georgia Southern and Florida Railway. It was originally named Lawrence[4] after its founder, Lawrence A. Wisenbaker. However, the name Lawrenceville was rejected due to the existence of another town with the same name in Georgia.[5] Subsequently, in April 1890, it was renamed Lake Park in reference to the numerous lakes surrounding the original town site.[6] The Georgia General Assembly officially incorporated Lake Park in December 1890.[7]

Geography

Lake Park is located in southeastern Lowndes County at 30°41′5″N 83°11′16″W / 30.68472°N 83.18778°W / 30.68472; -83.18778 (30.684704, -83.187639).[8] It is bordered to the northwest by the unincorporated community of Twin Lakes.

U.S. Route 41 passes through the center of town as Marion Avenue. It leads northwest 13 miles (21 km) to Valdosta, the county seat, and southeast 7 miles (11 km) to Jennings, Florida. Georgia State Route 376 leads east 10 miles (16 km) to Statenville and west 8 miles (13 km) to Clyattville. Interstate 75 passes west and south of Lake Park, with access from Exits 2 (Belville Road) and 5 (State Route 376). I-75 leads north past Valdosta 57 miles (92 km) to Tifton and southeast 47 miles (76 km) to Lake City, Florida.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Lake Park has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.7 km2), of which 0.019 square miles (0.05 km2), or 1.48%, are water.[9] There are several natural lakes west and north of the city, including two (Ocean Pond and Long Pond) within the city limits.
