The Lutz Civic Association (LCA), formed in November 1943 by 20 area residents, has had a long-standing community history. The group began by sponsoring the community's Fourth of July Celebration and initiating civic improvements, which included the forming of a volunteer fire department in the late 1950s.
While in the 1940s and 1950s Lutz grew rapidly it maintained the distinction, according to Fourth of July printed programs, as being "the friendliest neighborhood in all Florida" in 1947 and "A Fine Residential Community" in 1953. Town boosters regarded the town's location to Tampa as advantageous in that it offered every pleasure of country life, yet the advantages of a city.
This sentiment prevails in the community today and is one that the Lutz Civic Association works diligently towards preserving.
