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 after its founder Lawrence A. Wisenbaker. The name Lawrenceville was rejected due to there already being a town of that same name in Georgia. It was renamed Lake Park in April 1890 for the many lakes surrounding the original town site. The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Lake Park in December 1890.
