It lies along U.S. Route 98 between the cities of Sebring and Okeechobee. In addition to some light industry located along U.S. 98 corridor, Lorida and the surrounding area contains numerous fish camps and lodges on the north and east shore of Lake Istokpoga. HistoryLorida was first named Istokpoga, a Seminole name, but it was afterwards changed because the U.S. postal authorities refused to accept that name, there being another post office in the state with a similar name. It was then named after an abbreviated form of Florida.[1] A post office was established under the name Istokpoga in 1924, and the name was changed to Lorida in 1937.[2] References1. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KNFPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=hQcEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6893%2C6384249 | title=Take a ride on weird side of Florida | work=Ocala Star-Banner | date=May 12, 1996 | accessdate=7 June 2015 | author=Morgan, Philip | pages=4B}} {{Highlands County, Florida}}{{HighlandsCountyFL-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.postalhistory.com/postoffices.asp?task=display&state=FL&county=Highlands | title=Highlands County | publisher=Jim Forte Postal History | accessdate=7 June 2015}} 2 : Unincorporated communities in Highlands County, Florida|Unincorporated communities in Florida |
