It takes one to know one!

With a strategic location adjacent to the important I-4 transportation corridor, Polk City is enjoying rapid growth of residential development. It serves as a bedroom community for the city of Lakeland to the southwest.

Incorporated in 1925, Polk City occupies a low ridge in the heart of Florida's Green Swamp, a vast area of wilderness which is an important wildlife and water resource. The area contains the highest elevations of the Floridan Aquifer, the source of 90% of the drinking water for the middle Florida peninsula.

With a population of 1,615 residents, Polk City maintains its rural flavor, with only limited commercial development. The town serves as the home of Fantasy of Flight, an attraction showcasing the history of mankind's attempts to soar.

Polk City provides a number of amenities for its citizens, including Freedom Park, which features two basketball courts, a tennis court, and two racquetball courts. The city also sponsors summer youth recreation programs during June and July.

The Town of Polk City is governed by a five-person council, who elect a mayor and vice mayor from their membership. The council meets the first Tuesday of each month, at 7:30 p.m.
