Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Brandon, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
In 1857, when John Brandon (1809-1886) migrated from Mississippi to Fort Brooke (present-day Tampa) with his wife, Martha Brandon (1813-1867), and children. Brandon purchased 40 acres in New Hope, which is an area now known as Brandon. The town of Brandon grew slowly in its first few decades and suffered greatly during the Great Depression, when its poultry farms closed. Around 1946, Bill Hollash and Ann Hollash opened Brandon Eggs (later called Hollash Eggs), the largest egg producer in Hillsborough County.
In the 1950s, Brandon experience significant growth, expanding into the border communities of Limona, Seffner, and Valric. Growth continued through the 1980s.
