Okahumpka, in Lake County, is home to the Okahumpka Rosenwald School, approved by the Lake County Board of Public Instruction in 1929. It was one of the schools built for Black children with help from the Rosenwald Fund, established in 1917 by Julius Rosenwald, chairman of Sears, Roebuck and Company, who as a Jewish American believed the plight of Black Americans was the nation's most serious problem.
Rosenwald, a friend of Booker T. Washington and a trustee of Tuskegee Institute, funded a pilot program to build schools for Black children in Alabama, and after Washington's death he expanded it. By 1948 the fund had helped build more than 5,300 schools in 15 Southern states, serving a third of all Black children, through matching grants that required white school boards and Black communities to cooperate. Black communities in Florida contributed toward 127 schools, including ten schools, three shops and a teacher's home in Lake County. Okahumpka is also home to the Historic Campbell House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
