Acton, Florida

Historical marker for Acton within Interlachen Park, in Lakeland, Florida

Acton was a community in Polk County, Florida, United States. The town was situated two miles east of Lakeland, which it preceded. It was a settlement of English people from Great Britain.[1] It was established in 1884 named for Lord Acton. The community began dispersing to Lakeland in 1889[2] and disappeared after the great freeze of 1894. A historical marker in Interlachen Park commemorates its history.

The South Florida Railroad advertised a route through the community.[3] An episcopal church was built in the community and later moved to Lakeland.[2]

History

Acton was platted in 1884, and named for Lord Acton.[4] A post office was established at Acton in 1884, and remained in operation until 1889.[5] Construction of a railroad shifted business activity to nearby Lakeland, and the town's population dwindled.[6]
