Discover Brandon
Brandon, east of Tampa, takes its name from John Brandon, who arrived at Fort Brooke from Mississippi on January 20, 1857, with his first wife, Martha, seven sons and seven enslaved people. The family lived first in what is now Seffner, and in August 1858 Brandon bought 40 acres, and later 160 more, in the New Hope area and named his land Brandon. Four years later he gave land for the New Hope Church, the community's first church and first school.
More about Brandon
In 1890 the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad came through, and residents built a depot on Moon Avenue. Railroad engineer Charles S. Noble platted about 40 acres north of today's State Road 60, filed on April 24, 1890, naming the community for John Brandon and Noble Street for himself. Dan Galvin opened the first general store, and a school was built on Parsons Avenue in 1905. In 1876 John Brandon's son James built a large two-story Folk Victorian house for his wife, Johanna, and their seven children. It passed through several families and in 1960 became the Stowers Funeral Home, which keeps the original facade and remains a landmark of Brandon.
