Tavares Florida is the county seat of Lake County in Central Florida. Tavares Floria was founded by Alexander St. Clair-Abrams in 1880 and was named for a Portuguese ancestor. The word Tavares is Spanish for "Hub".

Since the 1880's Tavares has been a center of government, the citrus industry, as well as a destination for tourists who enjoyed the beautiful view of Lake Dora from the old lakeside pavilion. Although the pavilion is long since gone, tourists still enjoy the lake front park, the historic sites, beautiful waterways and parks. Tavares is fast becoming a great place to conduct business, with its proximity to the metro-Orlando area; all while retaining is small town charm.

Tavares offers a great opportunity to explore natural Florida through active and passive activities. These include birdwatching, kayaking, fishing, boating, wildlife photography and simply enjoying a great sunrise or sunset.

The Wooton Park Seaplane & Marina Basin is a multi-nodal transporation system that will connect Tavares to other cities, railways, public transit, water taxis, downtown business, events, festivals, parks and other areas of interest.

Whether you travel by car, plane, bike, boat or train; your journey will always start in Tavares.
