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[1] 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.[2] Subsequently, in April 1890, it was renamed Lake Park in reference to the numerous lakes surrounding the original town site.[3] The Georgia General Assembly officially incorporated Lake Park in December 1890.[4]
