History

[edit]

Peace Creek (now Bartow, Florida) and Fort Meade were the two largest cities in Polk County. Homeland was a stop midway between them, and gradually began to attract settlers. The original settlement was called Bethel, but the name was changed to Homeland.[4] A school and several churches were built in the area. The school was closed down in 1956 as Homeland became eclipsed by its neighbor to the north, Bartow. The school building is now part of Homeland Heritage Park, an educational park for elementary Polk County school children.[4]

Homeland has one church: The First Baptist Church of Homeland. The pastor, Thomas Henry, has been the pastor since October 30, 2022.

Geography

[edit]
