Our Town's History

The oldest city in Polk County, Fort Meade, was established in 1849 along with a new military road from Tampa to Fort Pierce following the Second Seminole War. The town and road were originally sited by Army Lieutenant George Meade of the Corps of Topographical Engineers, whose commander named the town for him.
