We invite you to take a few minutes to learn about this beautiful place, and the people who have shaped their lives and city to a high purpose. In the early days of the community, citrus was the major industry. The city had a citrus packing house and a canning house. The packing house and cannery were destroyed by fire in 1952 and were not replaced. Today, Eagle Lake is primarily a residential community with a great opportunity for additional growth and business development.
Eagle Lake is located in the heart of Florida in Imperial Polk County.
The City is astride US Highway 17, between Bartow and Winter Haven. Tampa is fifty miles to the west, and Interstate 4, which links the east and west coasts of Florida, is about 13 miles north of Eagle Lake.
