Dixieland Historic District, Historic residential district in Lakeland, Florida.

Dixieland Historic District is a residential neighborhood in Lakeland with around 556 buildings spread across a large area bounded by Walnut Street, Florida Avenue, Lake Hunter, Hartsell Avenue and Belvedere Street. The homes represent different building styles from various periods that reflect changing tastes in residential design.

The area was founded in 1907 by Henry B. Carter and C.W. Deen as a suburb south of downtown Lakeland and had a water system by 1910. The neighborhood experienced significant growth in the following decades as it became an established residential community.

Local newspapers promoted Dixieland as a "fashionable suburb" when it was laid out in 1907, and that marketing shaped how the district grew. The name Dixieland is used for the neighbourhood south of downtown Lakeland, and the Lakeland City Commission granted it historic district status in 1993, a year before National Register listing on December 23, 1994.

The district lies south of downtown Lakeland, bounded by Walnut Street, Florida Avenue, Lake Hunter, Hartsell Avenue and Belvedere Street. Lakeland issued preservation regulations for the area in the 1990s, and restoration work continues, so some buildings may be under repair. The 556 historic buildings line residential streets; plan a route along the boundary streets to keep your bearings.

Dixieland was first platted in 1907 by Henry Bascum Carter and C. W. Deen on 160 acres south of downtown Lakeland. The Lakeland City Commission granted local historic district status in 1993, a year before the National Register listing on December 23, 1994.
