Polk County is Florida's 39th county, established on February 8, 1861, from segments of Brevard County and Hillsborough County. It gains its name from James Knox Polk (1795-1849), the 11th President of the United States (1845-1849). Bartow is the county seat. Bartow was named after Confederate General Francis F. Bartow, who was the first general officer of either side to fall during the Civil War.
