More on Brandon Florida

Even though it's unincorporated, Brandon does have its own post office and address. Residents that live within the city limits are considered to be part of the Brandon Florida area. It's one of the fastest-growing areas in the Tampa Bay Metro region with a population anywhere from 105,000 to 120,000.

Brandon History

Branding got its start back in 1857 when John Brandon arrived at the now Tampa area from Mississippi. They settled and purchased 40 acres in the New Hope area, which is now the Brandon area, and 160 acres later on naming the land 'Brandon'. In 1890, the Florida Central and Peninsula Railroad came through the area encouraging more people of New Hope to build a depot in the area. This brought more settlers to the Brandon area and over the 20th century, Brandon has grown in spurts with the first school being built in 1905, churches and markets in 1915 through 1930, and by 1914, the community needed a large central schoolhouse for all the area students. The first Brandon census was taken in 1922 when the population was just 100 residents. Since then, it has definitely grown over the years to feature over 100,000 residents throughout Brandon.

During World War II, Brandon's growth stalled but the city had a definite edge being able to grow a lot of the food in the area. After the war, new businesses began to open including a drugstore and soda fountain, which became the popular hang out in the 1950s. In 1959, the Brandon Chamber of Commerce was formed to help promote business and growth and even though Brandon's population was just around 8000 in 1960, more families were moving in every day. Brandon Center was built as well as multiple elementary schools, the Brandon Swim and Tennis Club opened in 1961, and by the 1970s, growth is causing traffic congestion as approximately 430 new commercial and service businesses as well as 3 malls had opened all within about a 15-year time span.

In the 1970s, the Hillsboro Community College moved to Brandon exploding the population even more and by the 1980s, Brandon took off rapidly developing the southern end of the area with thousands of new residents, Interstate 75, which made its way through Brandon and by 1990, the population was nearly 60,000 residents.

Growth is definitely the earmark of the Brandon area. With shops, restaurants, malls, residential communities, and close proximity to the beach, St. Petersburg, and Tampa, it's easy to see why Brandon makes an ideal place to call home.
