Winter Haven is a primary city in the Winter Haven - Lakeland metropolitan area in Polk County. English is the official language of Winter Haven.

Winter Haven has a humid subtropical climate, which means hot summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures can reach into the 90's Fahrenheit from time to time but winter temperatures rarely dip below 40. Rainfall occurs year round, but it occurs most heavily during the summer months of June through August. Thunderstorms can be severe from time to time. The city is vulnerable to occasional hurricanes because of its location in south Florida.

The area around Winter Haven was originally settled as a citrus farming community, as were most south Florida communities. The addition of rail access created a more industrial atmosphere in the city. Soon businesses came and the city adjusted its economy from agriculture to business and tourism.

Winter Haven was the long time home of the Cypress Gardens theme park, until it closed down.
