History
Lady Lake was named after the lake in the area, and grew from Seminole territory and become railroad-fueled around 1883. It would be incorporated in 1925 and would gain fame as the birthplace of The Villages. In 2007 it was hit by an EF3 Tornado during the 2007 Groundhog Day tornado outbreak.
