'''Lakeside''' is an unincorporated area and [[census-designated place]] in [[Clay County, Florida|Clay County]], [[Florida]], United States. It is part of the greater [[Orange Park, Florida|Orange Park]] area and is included in the [[Jacksonville, Florida]] [[Jacksonville metropolitan area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]]. The population was 31,275 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], up from 30,943 at the [[2010 United States census|2010 census]].

==Geography==
Lakeside is located in northeastern Clay County at {{coord|30|8|5|N|81|45|57|W|type:city}} (30.134840, -81.765767).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> It is bordered on its northeastern edge by the Town of Orange Park. To the north is the [[Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace, Florida|Bellair-Meadowbrook Terrace]] CDP, and to the southeast, across [[Doctors Lake (Florida)|Doctors Lake]], an inlet of the [[St. Johns River]], is [[Fleming Island, Florida|Fleming Island]]. The community of [[Doctors Inlet, Florida|Doctors Inlet]] is just to the south of Lakeside.

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|40.7|km2|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|35.0|km2|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|5.7|km2|disp=flip}}, or 13.96%, is water.<ref name="Census 2010"/>

==History==
The [[Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center]], one of ten regional centers for [[primate]] research, was once located just west of Orange Park in what is now the Lakeside CDP. The center, established in 1930 by psychologist [[Robert Yerkes]] and [[Yale University]] and the [[Rockefeller Foundation]], was the first laboratory in the United States for the study of non-human primates. Prior to the opening of the facility, Yerkes was engaged in his own research with two great apes, named "Chim" and "Panzee". His findings convinced officials at Yale University, the Rockefeller Foundation and the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York|Carnegie Foundation]] to sponsor the Florida facility. Initially designed to house about 25 [[common chimpanzee|chimpanzee]]s, researchers worked with an estimated 65 chimps (and possibly more) during the lab's 35-year history. This location was home to chimpanzees nurtured as humans such as [[Gua (chimpanzee)|Gua]] and [[Viki (chimpanzee)|Viki]] and other primates from the estate of Madame [[Rosalia Abreu]] in [[Havana]], [[Cuba]]. It was home to some of the leading behavioral scientists of the time, some of whom either liked or hated living in the humid South. These researchers studied various aspects of primate behavior, including basic biology, sensory function, reproductive systems, behavioral patterns, physiology and anatomy. Comically, rumors about the place by some Orange Park residents included those of scientists cross-breeding humans with apes. The term "Monkey Farm" has been used by some residents, who may be aware of the location's history, to describe the lab's functions.

The plot of land upon which Yerkes Labs sat was {{convert|188|acre}}, about a mile west of Orange Park. The actual research buildings sat on less than an acre, on what is now part of the Foxwood Center plaza (facing Orange Park Medical Center on Kingsley Avenue) in unincorporated land outside the town limits. In 1966, the abandoned buildings and adjacent land were purchased by Developer Marvin Wilhite of Ahpla, Inc., who still lives in Foxwood and built other communities such as Foxridge. He chose the name Ahpla (using a backward arrangement of the letters) after a female chimp named Alpha, who was the first chimp born at the Yerkes Labs on September 11, 1930.

Foxwood Center still has some of the original laboratory buildings that once housed the chimps, the grounds caretaker, and administrative offices. These stand alongside others that have been added, including the Orange Park Chamber of Commerce building. The old caretaker's house is now known as The Granary, an organic food and health store.

In 1956, [[Emory University]] took over operation of the Center. In 1965, the center was relocated to the campus of [[Emory University]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. In 2002, the Center was renamed the [[Yerkes National Primate Research Center]], though officially the "Regional" name still applies.
