== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Highlands County is strongly Republican in most elections.
* Highlands County has become a very popular retirement area, this trend starting during the 1970s.
* The county is also a very popular area for trainers, coordinators and performers alike, mainly for the multiple lakes and state parks within the county's boundaries. This includes Highlands Hammock State Park, Lake Lotela, Lake Jackson, Lake Placid, Lake June-in-Winter, and the largest lake of them all, Lake Istokpoga.
* Sylvan Shores is mostly an extension of Lake Placid.
* In addition to some light industry located along the U.S. 98 corridor, Lorida and the surrounding area contains numerous fish camps and lodges on the north and east shores of Lake Istokpoga.
* Venus is notable for being quite racist towards Electric-type Pokemon, those species being required to leave the settlement by sundown.
* Another popular attraction in the county is Sebring International Raceway. It is one of the oldest continuously operating race tracks in the U.S., its first race being run in 1950. Sebring is one of the classic race tracks in North American sports car racing, and plays host to the 12 Hours of Sebring. The raceway occupies a portion of Sebring Regional Airport, an active airport for private and commercial traffic that was originally built as Hendricks Army Airfield, a World War II training base for the U.S. Army Air Forces.
