Connerton, Florida
Connerton is a census-designated place in Pasco County, Florida, United States, off U.S. 41.[2] Its population was 5,282 as of the 2020 census.
History
The Conner family owned and operated Conner Ranch, a working cattle ranch set on the 8,000 acres that now makes up Connerton. The family sold the land in early 2000 to a developer who originally planned to build more than 15,000 homes and up to three golf courses. The original plan was later modified to protect much of the natural lands.[3] Development began a couple years later with the first homes being sold in 2005. The development was stunted with the downturn in the housing market, after a small portion of the full scale residential development was built out.[4] As of 2012 construction plans were once again moving ahead.[5]
