Lake City was once named Alligator Town after Seminole Indian Chief Halpatter-Tustennuggee.Chief Alligator, as he was called, gave his name to the Town when his tribe resided here. At one time Chief Alligator was friendly toward the settlers. Later however, a Treaty was signed and they agreed to locate to Ocala, Fl. The Chief was bitter about the Treaty and commanded several raids on the settlers. Later the Chief was transported to Arkansas along with other Seminloe Indian Chiefs.
Decades after the Indians were sent away the early settlers decided to rename the Town to Alligator Town, Lake City.Believing that a new name should not only show their pride in the fertile farmland and many fresh water lakes, but also may be more conducive to getting people to move here.
