History
Loughman was settled shortly after the South Florida Railroad reached the area in 1883. The place was originally named Lake Locke.
Loughman was on the route of the Dixie Highway, which ran parallel to the line of US 17/92 and was renamed Old Kissimmee Road (although it is named Old Tampa Highway north of the Osceola County line). A monument dated 1930 marks the Polk county line. Nearby, some of the brick-paved highway remains.
