Our History

The Orange Belt Bowling Association was organized first as the Lakeland Bowling Association in 1956. At that time there was no bowling establishment in Polk County and Imperial Lanes in Lakeland, since demolished by fire, was near completion. There were about one hundred potential bowlers anxious to roll the first ball. Several would-be keglers attended a meeting: realizing that an organization was necessary. The Lakeland Bowling Association was formed and membership swelled to about thirty teams or about one hundred fifty bowlers. Of course, the seed sprouted and soon it was necessary to belong to a team or not bowl most nights of the week.
