Deep Lake is an uninhabited unincorporated area in Collier County, Florida, United States.[1] It is located between Immokalee and Everglades City along State Route 29. The area is named after Deep Lake, a Шаблон:Convert deep naturally occurring sinkhole, which is the deepest lake south of Lake Okeechobee.[2]
History
Around 1901,[3] Walter Langford and John Roach acquired a Шаблон:Convert tract of land in the Deep Lake area,[2] known as "Deep Lake Hammock," with plans to develop the land into a grapefruit growing and packing enterprise.[4] After years of laborious work, 200 acres of the hammock had been cleared and seeds were planted.[2][5]
Deep Lake Railroad
To facilitate the process of transporting the grapefruit to market, the partners needed to build their own rail system.[5] The Deep Lake Railroad was built in 1913 and spanned Шаблон:Convert from Everglades City to Deep Lake.[6]
Barron Collier, friend of Roach and namesake of Collier County, purchased the grapefruit grove and railroad in the early years of the 1920s. He would go on to buy more land in the surrounding area to grow the business, which would later be called "Deep Lake Grove & Cannery."[2]
In 1928, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad acquired the Deep Lake Railroad.[7] After rebuilding the track to meet Coast Line specifications, the line was incorporated into the Haines City Branch, which would extend up through Immokalee and into Central Florida.[8]
The railroad was removed in 1957.[9]
Geography and Climate
Deep Lake is located within the Big Cypress National Preserve. This particular section is higher in elevation and therefore drier than other areas of the preserve.[10]
