Lakewood Ranch History
The area in and around Sarasota and Manatee counties has been populated for thousands of years by indigenous peoples. Spanish explorers came to this area in the early 1500s, but the area didn’t really begin to be settled by Americans until the mid-1800s. The early 1920s saw tremendous population growth in the Sarasota/Manatee area as it became a hot spot for wealthy tourists and for retirees. After the Depression and WWII, the retail industry grew, as did agriculture, and fishing. Tourism and real estate saw rapid growth in the 50s and 60s, along with the growth of winter training camps for sports, with baseball leading the fore as various clubs set up their spring training camps in the Sunshine State and fans followed their teams.
Lakewood Ranch broke ground on its first neighborhood, Summerfield, in 1995. Developed to be a self-sufficient community, Lakewood Ranch is still well-integrated with Sarasota and Manatee counties, with residents often working, volunteering, and enjoying various aspects of the many amenities of the surrounding area. Beaches are within easy reach, along with the beautiful woodlands of Florida’s inland areas.
