Valrico is a census-designated community in east-central Hillsborough County, Florida. It was named by a philosophy professor, William Tousey, who bought property in the area in the 1880s. The word “Valrico” means “rich valley” in Spanish, which makes it an unusual name for the town which has no valleys and was never a Spanish colony. It began as a cotton plantation region before the Civil War, when it was known as “Long Pond” (which referred to the lake now known as Valrico Lake and the surrounding area). By 1890, the town had a post office and the railroad arrived, putting Valrico on the map. Since then it has become known as an important source of citrus groves; it has had its ups and downs over the years but the railroad and the community's proximity to a major Florida thoroughfare have ensured its survival.
