Fish Hawk (or FishHawk) is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in Hillsborough County, Florida, United States. It is a suburb of Tampa, and includes a portion of the community of Lithia. As of the 2020 census, the CDP had a population of 24,625. The place name is derived from Little Fishhawk Creek, a tributary of the Alafia River that joins the Alafia just west of Lithia Springs.

Geography

FishHawk is located in east-central Hillsborough County, bordered to the north by the Alafia River, which separates it from Valrico to the north and Bloomingdale to the northwest. Boyette road borders Fish Hawk from the south and Riverview to the southwest. FishHawk is 20 miles (32 km) southeast of downtown Tampa. The older community of Lithia is in the eastern part of the CDP.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 16.4 square miles (42.4 km2), with 16.2 square miles (42.0 km2) of land and 0.2 square miles (0.4 km2), or 1.03%, of water.[5]

Description

Park Square Plaza in Fishhawk Ranch.

FishHawk Ranch by Newland Communities is a planned community composed of several distinct villages over 3,000+ acres.[6] FishHawk Ranch contains several public common areas including the Park Square Town Center, the Lake House, the Palmetto Club clubhouse, the Osprey Club, the Aquatic Center, biking/walking trails, community swimming pools, gym facilities, tennis courts, lakes, and ponds. FishHawk Ranch was the first certified green new-home community in Hillsborough County.[7] The community is part of a Community Development District and residents pay a CDD fee for their respective CDD designation or subdivision.

The FishHawk area is also noted for its high-ranking, A-rated schools.[8][9]

History

FishHawk Trails and FishHawk Ranch formerly operated as a ranch; these two subdivisions were built by two different companies in the 1990s.

Before these subdivisions were constructed, FishHawk Trails was a wooded location through which a CSX Transportation rail track path passed. The rail tracks were removed in the late 1980s. There was once a train station in the FishHawk area that was the main import/export area of supplies, mail, and food for Lithia residents.

Environmental impact

Starling at FishHawk and The Preserve were previously an undeveloped wildlife habitat. The Florida Green Building Coalition has named FishHawk as a "green" community, the first in Hillsborough County and the largest in the Tampa area. In 2003, the National Arbor Day Foundation honored the FishHawk community preservation efforts.[10]
