Religion
In 1913, the Wolfson family arrived from Lithuania and became the first Jewish settlers to the area.[21] After some struggles, the Jewish community in Lakeland flourished and the first synagogue, Temple Emanuel opened in 1932.[22]
Lakeland is home to one of the first Hindu temples in the United States the Swaminarayan Hindu Temple.
In 1994 the first and only Mosque was established. It was called Masjid Aisha but is now called the Islamic center of Lakeland. It was successfully remodeled in 2011. It is located on the corner of Providence and Orange Blossom.
