The City of Zephyrhills is a flourishing city, located just north of Tampa Bay and the I-4 Corridor, which respects its heritage, values the diversity of its residents, and encourages economic growth, while retaining its small town, neighborly charm.Built around pure water, healthy living, recreation, and a family-friendly culture, Zephyrhills has been known as a go-to destination for seasonal residents since 1930. While other Florida cities capture their share of winter visitors, Zephyrhills was a pioneer in recognizing their contribution to the community. Each winter, the population of the Zephyrhills area swells from 55,000 permanent residents to 88,000.Today, the city is poised to take off as Florida resumes its growth arc and younger Tampa Bay commuters realize the convenience of a Zephyrhills location and the value of good schools.
