Plant City's original name was Ichepucksassa after the Indian village that once occupied this territory. So much confusion was created with the spelling and pronunciation that the Irish postmaster renamed the village Cork, after his home city.
In 1884 Henry B. Plant extended the South Florida Railroad into the town and one year later, when the town was incorporated, it was once again renamed in honor of Henry B. Plant.
Originally Plant City was a large cotton center. Changing its major crop to strawberries has brought it national recognition. Today, over three-quarters of the nation's midwinter strawberries come from Plant City.
At the Strawberry Festival, held each winter, you can taste some of the finest shortcake, pie and cobblers made from the freshest strawberries in the land. The Building is named after Nettie Berry Draughon.http://www.ci.plant-city.fl.us/info/Nettie.htm
