Our History

  •  SCHOOL HISTORY

     

    Wimauma Elementary School was built in 1926. It once served grades K through 12, but now houses grades Pre-K through 5. Our school is surrounded by large oak trees, both inside and outside the campus grounds. It is a neighborhood elementary school which serves a racially diverse student body. Since Wimauma is a farming community, its residents include seasonal migrant workers, so student population does fluctuate somewhat throughout the year. We are a Title 1 and Rennaissance School.

    TOWN HISTORY

     

    In 1902, Captain C.H. Davis helped build a railroad between Turkey Creek and Bradenton. He founded the small rural town of Wimauma (pronounced "why-mama"), a midway point between the two areas, that same year. The town’s name is taken from the first letters of his three daughter’s names, Wilma (Willie), Maude and Mary. The community is located in Southeastern Hillsborough County east of Sun City Center and south of Balm. State Road 674 bisects Wimauma, and is dotted with taquerias, groceries, and family-owned businesses. Lake Wimauma and the nearby Little Manatee River State Park are landmarks.
