Lake City is a quaint city located in Columbia County.

Lake City used to be called “Alligator Village” by the Seminole Native Americans, who settled in this area around the beginning of the 18th century. The Seminole were comprised of a few other groups of, such as the Red Sticks (Creek-speaking Muscogee) and a few hundred African-Americans who escaped slavery (known as the Black Seminole). During the Spanish era, Spanish missionaries established the Santa Cruz de Tarihica not far from the site of present-day Lake City. Nevertheless, Spain was forced to give up the Florida territory to the United States because of economic hardships. When the Seminole signed the Treaty of Moultrie Creek in 1823, they moved to a reservation on the banks of Peace Creek. Alligator Village then became the county seat of the newly formed Columbia County, but the mayor had the name changed to Lake City when it was incorporated.
