They did this by creating the Lake Tapawingo Development Company which enabled them to sign and register the papers needed for that historic task. It is said that the name of this community has Native American origin meaning either "beautiful water" or "beautiful place".The goal was to create a retreat type community where residents could enjoy sports and more in its 315 beautiful, rolling, wooded acreage.Lake Tapawingo continues to grow and develop in many ways in order to maintain a high quality of life. The community is situated around an 87.8 acre lake that provides 5.6 miles of shoreline.
