Editing Land O' Lakes, Florida (section)

==History==
The land that is now Land O' Lakes was taken from its Native American inhabitants in the 1830s as part of the [[Second Seminole War]]. By the 1840s, a stage coach line ran through the center of where the CDP is now located. Eventually, by the early 1900s, a railroad line ran through the CDP and a station was built.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bedard |first1=Diane |title=Developing Land O'Lakes |url=https://naturecoaster.com/developing-land-olakes/ |publisher=NatureCoaster |access-date=19 June 2023}}</ref>

Throughout the 20th century, Land O' Lakes expanded and absorbed surrounding communities such as '''Denham''', '''Ehren''', and '''Gowers Corner'''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cannon |first1=Jeff |title=What's In A Name: Denham Oaks Elementary School |url=https://patch.com/florida/landolakes/what-s-in-a-name-denham-oaks-elementary-school-1343e820 |access-date=19 June 2023}}</ref>
