About location

Tucked among the lakes and low, rolling terrain of central Florida, Howey-in-the-Hills is a place whose character is shaped by the region's water-rich inland landscape. The town stands near Lake Harris and Little Lake Harris, part of the connected Harris Chain of Lakes, which supports boating and waterfront recreation. Its name recalls William J. Howey, a citrus entrepreneur who developed the community during the 1920s. Citrus groves helped define this part of Lake County, where broad roads now connect small residential communities, open land and the larger centres of the Orlando area. Howey-in-the-Hills retains a distinctly inland Floridian setting of lake shores, mature trees and gently rising ground. The Mission Inn Resort & Club is one of the town's established destinations, with golf central to its identity.

Few communities in central Florida have a history as closely tied to the citrus industry as Howey-in-the-Hills. On the northern shore of Little Lake Harris, the town forms part of the Harris Chain of Lakes, a connected inland-lake system in Lake County. It grew around the citrus ventures of William J. Howey, whose name it bears; the Howey Mansion is a local reminder of that formative era. Its waterfront setting, residential streets and nearby golf courses create a distinctly lakeside character, while Lake County’s rolling terrain sets it apart from much of Florida’s flatter peninsula.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

Country United States

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
