Davenport

Lake Wales Ridge defines the setting of Davenport — sandy, gently undulating uplands and nearby lakes give this part of Polk County a different texture from Florida’s broad coastal plains. Positioned beside US 27 and close to Interstate 4, the city has grown within the busy Central Florida corridor while remaining part of a county long associated with citrus farming. Davenport takes its name from Colonel William Davenport, who established a fort here during the Second Seminole War in 1838. Residential communities, shops and visitor accommodation reflect the city’s proximity to Orlando’s attractions.
