{"product_id":"plant-city-east-hillsborough-historical-society-9781531611897","title":"Plant City","description":"Local legend says that Henry B. Plant never came to Plant City, Florida, the town named for him. That may be true; however, he played a significant role in the development of the city. In the mid-1880s, he extended his South Florida Railroad through Plant City, providing a means for growth and prosperity. Plant City was incorporated in 1885 in Hillsborough County. The original community settlement, known as Shiloh, was north of the current town center. A walk through historic Shiloh Cemetery is a walk through the history of Plant City, with granite markers dating as far back as 1841. There you will find the names of the founding families: Branch, Collins, Cone, Evers, Howell, Hancock, Hawthorne, Knight, Merrin, Wilder, and Wheeler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e East Hillsborough Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531611893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531611897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"East Hillsborough Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936685916415,"sku":"9781531611897","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f430bb71-713f-4729-ad32-c3807ced49d0.jpg?v=1681426340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plant-city-east-hillsborough-historical-society-9781531611897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
