History
In 1923, it was officially incorporated as The Town of Kelsey City. It was originally named after Boston entrepreneur Harry Seymour Kelsey, after he purchased 30,000 acres (120 km2) north of West Palm Beach. The town was renamed The Town of Lake Park in 1939, and it was the first zoned municipality in the State of Florida. It was designed and planned by Dr. John Nolan of Boston, Massachusetts, and the Olmsted Brothers, the landscaping firm of Frederick Law Olmsted's sons, Frederick Jr. and John Charles.
Since then, the boundaries of Lake Park have expanded to 2.35 square miles (6.1 km2) of residential, business, industrial and mixed-use land. The Lake Park Town Hall, constructed in 1927 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, survived the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane and served as a shelter for town residents during the storm.
