Gibsonton Florida

Known as a sideshow wintering town, Gibsonton has been the home of circus and carnival businesses for many years. It's the place where many people in this industry would spend the winter when they were not touring. At one time, Gibsonton was home to the Lobster Boy, Percilla the Monkey Girl, the Anatomical Wonder, and the Siamese Twin Sisters.

This community is known for the unique zoning laws and the post office was the only one in the country with a counter for dwarfs. The zoning laws have allowed residents to keep circus trailers on their property, along with elephants.

While quite a bit has changed since the days of the big shows, there are still signs of the older times in Gibsonton. Many of the famous circus folk that once lived here have passed on, but some of their families still reside in Gibsonton.

Living in Gibsonton

As a suburb of Tampa, Gibsonton provides a great location for those looking to live near Tampa, but not within the actual city. It offers a suburban feel with plenty of parks and a family-friendly vibe. The public schools are above average and many new residents enjoy calling this suburb home.

Where is Gibsonton, FL?

Found just north of Apollo Beach and to the south of Tampa, Gibsonton is located directly on the Hillsborough Bay. It's found about 11 miles from downtown Tampa and about 34 miles from Clearwater. The community is located close enough for residents to enjoy Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, and even Orlando.

In addition, Gibsonton offers plenty of water access making it a prime community for water activities.

Choosing to buy one of the homes for sale in Gibsonton makes sense if you want to live near Tampa. It's a popular suburb of the bigger city and no longer is this community just for circus and carnival performers.
