Florida Gateway College (FGC), formerly Lake City Community College, is a state college in Lake City, Florida, U.S. It is part of the Florida College System. It is one of several institutions in the system designated a "state college", allowing it to offer four-years bachelor's degrees, though the college currently does not offer such degrees. The institution was established in 1947 as the Columbia Forestry School, and became a junior college in 1961. It adopted its current name in 2008. FGC is located adjacent to Lake City Municipal Airport, six miles (10 km) east of Lake City, and offers academic programs in liberal arts and sciences, occupational training and personal enrichment. The school serves 7,000 students each year from its five-county district, which includes Baker, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist and Union counties. At the conclusion of World War II, the Lake City Naval Air Station was decommissioned and the Columbia Forestry School (CFS) was established in 1947, utilizing military structures that remained. At the time, Lake City claimed to be the "Forestry Capitol of the World".
