About
Plant City, FL
Plant
City has a rich history dating back to the mid-1800's when
settlers first began to populate Florida. Plant City was incorporated
in 1885, 16 years after the state was chartered. Plant City
derives its name not from the surrounding agricultural industry
which greatly added to the city's growth, but from Henry Bradley
Plant. The city has grown over the past 110 years to its present
size of 26 square miles. Plant City is ideally located in
the heart of Central Florida situated in the northeastern
corner of Hillsborough County.
