The History of Lake Wales began when a survey was conducted by Sidney Wailes around the year 1879. He renamed Lake Watts to Lake Wailes. The construction of the city was started by Lake Wales Land Company around the year 1911-1912. The plan of the city was developed by Allen Carleton Nydegger, who was a reputed Civil Engineer of those times. However, commerce began after a depot was built on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad which connected the Haines City with Everglades City. Places to See As the population of Lake Wales is very low, hence it is not the most happening cities of Florida like Miami or Orlando, but still there are a decent number of local attractions that this city has to offer. Some of them are: Bok Tower Gardens Spook Hill Camp Mack’s River Resort Hotel Grand The Shrine of St. Anne des Lacs Apart from these Lake Wales also hosts a famous history museum which is home to a wide variety of artifacts and exhibits ranging from the pre-Columbian era to modern times.

Insurance plans have lowered down a considerable extent. New plans have been introduced and subsidies are been provided to those who cannot afford a decent medical treatment.
