Abbott who practiced medicine here. Simon J. Temple named the community after buying several hundred acres of land from the Florida Railwy and Navigation Corp on 11 November 1886. The town became official on 18 April 1888. The name was further amended to include station after Abbott in 1896. Early on, there were many pine trees here. These trees were first used for turpentine production, then they were cut down for lumber. Afterward, the stumps were taken out and the land planted with citrus. In 1909, a Civil War veteran, Howard B. Jeffries, chose Abbott Station as a veteran's colony. While he was presenting it to some prospective residents, he heard someone remark about the rolling hills and zephyr-like breezes. He particularly liked the sound of the words and decided to name his new colony Zephyrhills. The name was officially changed on 10 March 1910. The town was later incorporated in 1914. It continued to be known for its citrus as well as for it famous pure water. The community and surrounding areas continue to grow with over 55,000 combined residents in 2003. During the winter, thousands of snowbirds from the north flock to the area for its warm weather and wonderful scenery.
