SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

In 1980, a seven member Historic Preservation Board was appointed by the City Commission by authorization of Ordinance No. 2175. Their function included developing a historic preservation program for the City, recommending boundaries of the district to be created, and designating historic landmarks to be preserved. The first district created was in the center of town surrounding Munn Park. Munn Park was named after the founder of Lakeland Abraham Munn. The historic district covers the main business area of Lakeland and includes many original buildings dating from 1903.
