The Citrus Tower stands unrivaled as a majestic and monumental tribute to Central Florida’s famed  citrus industry and its lush subtropical groves.  With the area’s changing economic climate, the Tower serves as a beacon guiding a burgeoning new business and population base to the scenic South Lake County region.

One of Florida’s first “attractions” the Citrus Tower was built in 1956 on one of the highest hills in Florida’s ridge section.  The original plans specified a tower of 75 feet, but when completed the Citrus Tower rose to a lofty height of 226 feet ( equivalent to 22 stories), the tip of the highest antenna piercing the sky at a point of 500 feet above sea level.
