Plant never came to Plant City - true or not, he played a significant role in the development of the area. The original community settlement, known as Shiloh, was north of the current town center; a walk through the historic Shiloh Cemetery is a walk through the history of Plant City, with granite markers dating back as 1841. It wasn't until the mid-1880s that Plant extended his South Florida Railroad through the area, providing a means for growth and prosperity. Plant City was incorporated in 1885, and the rest is Florida history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e The East Hillsborough Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738517380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738517384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.68w x 0.36d","brand":"The East Hillsborough Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254734156031,"sku":"9780738517384","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d3afc94-c991-4545-aad8-fdf60f88f7ef.jpg?v=1694614067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plant-city-the-east-hillsborough-historical-society-9780738517384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
