DeFuniak Springs

DeFuniak Springs is best known in Florida for Lake DeFuniak, the nearly circular lake at the center of town. Streets and public green space curve around its shoreline, giving the historic core an unusually direct relationship with the water. The city grew as a stop on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and became home to the Florida Chautauqua Assembly, which brought lectures, music and educational programs here from the 1880s. Assembly-era buildings and Victorian residences remain in the DeFuniak Springs Historic District. In the Florida Panhandle, this is a town defined less by beaches than by its inland lake and late-19th-century civic plan.
