 | | Hillsborough County, which takes its name from the British Colonial Secretary of 1772, was first mapped and explored by the Spanish in the early 16th century. |
 | | At that time, Hillsborough County was a sprawling area that included what is now Pinellas, Polk, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee and Highlands counties, most of Glades and a third of Lee. |
 | | The county tax for 1846 was fixed at 50 percent of the amount assessed by the state, and that assessment raised $148.69 that year. |
