History

The area was first settled in the 19th century by the Morrison family. George Morrison established a homestead in what is now the Carrollwood area in 1848 after relocating from Alabama. The Morrisons named their homestead Tin City for the tin roofed structures on the property. The family started one of the first citrus groves in the region.^[2]

In the early 20th century, Tampa real estate developer A.L. Moore purchased land in the area and subdivided it into plots for new homes. The community was originally named Carrollwood Park after Moore's wife Carrie. Streets were laid out in a planned grid pattern.

After WWII, Carrollwood experienced rapid suburban growth as servicemen returned and the population boomed. Large tracts of citrus groves were converted into more suburban developments. The community saw another population surge in the 1970s and 1980s.^[2]
