In 1958, the LaMonte-Shimberg Corporation purchased a 525-acre dairy farm from the Webb family near the Hillsborough Avenue-Memorial intersection to construct the Town 'n' Country Park subdivision, making the area one of Tampa’s first suburban communities. By the time the original developers and builders of Town 'n' Country had built their last house, the area covered more than 2,000 acres and stretched over three miles from Memorial Highway on the south to north of Waters Avenue. In this area, nearly 8,000 single-family homes and townhouses were built from 1958 to 1978 by LaMonte-Shimberg.As with most North American metropolitan areas in the Mid-20th century, Hillsborough County experienced massive suburbanization. As the rural land surrounding Tampa transformed into bedroom communities, Tampa began to experience white flight. Many of the early Town ‘n’ Country residents were Italians from West Tampa. Soon thereafter, many Cuban families from Ybor City and West Tampa settled in the area, eventually molding a majority Latino/Hispanic community.
