Florida City:
Wimauma Wimauma is an unincorporated
census-designated
place in Hillsborough
County, Florida, United States. The population was 4,246 at the 2000
census. Wimauma was founded by
Captain C.H. Davis in 1902. That year, Davis helped build the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad connecting Turkey Creek and Bradenton. Davis decided to found a town at the half-way point, opening
a post office there in on October 24, 1902. Davis named the town by taking
the first letters of the names of his three daughters, Willie, Maude, and Mary.
The town had the railroad tracks as the western boundary and was centered around
Lake Tiger, now called Lake
Wimauma. The town was officially
incorporated in 1925 as the county's fourth municipality, but the city
government ceased to function some time in the 1930s. In 1993 this fact was
rediscovered, but it was concluded that the incorporation was no longer valid
after about 60 years without a city government. Currently, Wimauma is the site
of the Church Of God (Cleveland, TN) Camp Ground and conference
center. The per capita income for the community was $8,597. About 26.5% of families and
31.7% of the population were below the poverty line, including 44.5% of those under age 18 and 11.1% of those age
65 or over. .Income &
Housing Costs Numbers: Estimated median household income in 2008: $42,975 (it
was $35,114 in 2000)
