About Plant City
Plant City is an incorporated city in eastern Hillsborough County known as the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World. Agriculture still shapes its identity — strawberry fields surround the town and the annual Florida Strawberry Festival draws national headliners every spring — while a restored historic downtown with brick streets, the Photo Archives & History Center, and local diners gives it a genuine small-town core. It offers some of the metro's most affordable single-family housing within reasonable reach of Tampa.
