Whatever your heart desires, youll find it here in Sun N Lakes! Located in the heart of South Central Florida's Highlands County, Sebring's position as principal town and county seat have made it a retail center for Highlands County and neighboring rural counties. Principal industries of the region include agriculture, principally citrus, dairy, and beef cattle, as well as tourism. Although the city has a population of only about 10,000, the county has grown to about 80,000 residents, most of whom trade and conduct their business needs in Sebring. More than 15 square kilometers of lakes have made lakefront living a popular option, as large new housing developments have augmented the original stately southern-style homes. Sebring and Highlands County occupy the southern end of the Lake Wales Ridge, a 100-mile-long range of sandhills, dotted with fresh-water lakes. High ground in the area remained as island during ancient times, when much of Florida was submerged, leading to the development of dozens of rare species of plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. Pine forests and oak scrub conceal the remaining fragments of this unique environment.
