History

South Bay was named for its location on Lake Okeechobee. The town was incorporated in 1941. The first mayor of South Bay was Aubrey (a.k.a. “Orb”) Walker, who, along with his brother, Haughty D. Walker (a.k.a. “Haught”), survived the great hurricane of 1928 by gathering his family members onto a boat in the canal.
