Lakeland, Tennessee. Lakeland Tennessee is located in northeast Shelby County. The current population of Lakeland is approximately 6,862 though the area plans to gain a few thousand more people during the coming years. The incorporation of Lakeland was conceived and financed by Louis Garner.

Beverle Rivera was the first Mayor of Lakeland and the first City meeting was held in September of 1977 at the old Lakeland Cafe. A bedroom of the Rivera home served as City Hall. No salaries were paid until 1982. June 12, 1977 Lakeland incorporated its 260 homes, 7 1/2 miles of roads and 612 citizens into the City of Lakeland, Tennessee. Belz Mall was built in 1979 and in 1981 the first City Hall was built.

The area has a very active Parks and Recreation department which gives the area plenty of activity. There are many parks, beautiful beaches, and plenty of chances for classes and socialization just waiting for the area residents.
