Homeland is an unincorporated community in Polk County, Florida, United States.

Peace Creek (now Bartow, Florida) and Fort Meade were the two largest cities in Polk County.

Homeland was a stop midway between them, and gradually began to attract settlers.

The school was closed down in 1956 as Homeland became eclipsed by its neighbor to the north, Bartow.
