Plant City, Florida



   
Plant City
is a city in Hillsborough County, Florida, approximately midway between Brandon and Lakeland along Interstate 4.

Many people believe Plant City was named for the flora (especially vegetables and fruits, as well as tropical houseplants) grown at plant nurseries in its tropical Gulf Coast climate. However, it was named after prominent railroad developer, Henry B. Plant.

Plant City is known as the winter strawberry capital of the world, and hosts the annual Florida Strawberry Festival in the late winter (usually in February or early March), which is attended by people from all over the United States as well as many people from around the world.


                                                  History

Plant City's original name was Ichepucksassa (also known as Idasukshed) after the Indian, village that once occupied the territory. Its name caused so much confusion that the city was renamed Cork, after the postmaster's Irish hometown. It was finally given the name Plant City in commemoration of Henry B. Plant, and his railroad, which significantly boosted the commerce in this primarily agricultural community by incorporating it with the South Florida Railroad.

Originally, Plant City was a large cotton center, but after changing its primary crop to strawberries it gained recognition as the winter strawberry capital of the world.


Whether you are looking for an Estate sized home with waterfront and a beach or a community with single family homes that is on or near the water, we have access to all the waterfront properties as well as homes in communities that have water access.
