Lake Placid, in Highlands County, was first known as Wicco when its first recorded settler arrived in 1869, and its first recorded homesteader came in 1891. Growth began in 1912, when 75 homesteaders arrived under the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909.
When the first post office opened on February 5, 1919, the community took the name Lake Stearns, for U.S. Surveyor General Marcellus Stearns, already the name of its Atlantic Coast Line station, and it was incorporated as the Town of Lake Stearns on December 1, 1925. At the suggestion of Dr. Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal System and founder of the Lake Placid Club in New York, the town's commissioners agreed on April 29, 1927, to rename it Lake Placid, and the town was chartered under that name on June 6, 1927. A marker recalls its 1927 railroad depot. Sources Wikipedia: Lake Placid, Florida The Historical Marker Database: 1927 Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot
