Villa City is an abandoned community in Lake County, Florida. Founded by George T. King of Massachusetts, it featured dozens of homes and a post office in a citrus growing area in the late 19th century until a hard freeze in February 1895. A historical marker commemorates Villa City. [1]

A master plan for a new community is underconsideration.[2][3]
