From the city website:
Fort Meade is the oldest city in Polk County, dating back to 1849 when a settlement grew up around a U.S. Cavalry Fort during the Seminole Indian Wars. The name "Fort Meade" comes from a young lieutenant who surveyed the area while garrisoned there and who later became General George Gordon Meade of Civil War fame. Stonewall Jackson, later a general in the Confederate Army, was one of those serving under Meade. His post at Fort Meade was his last service with the United States Army.
