Zephyrhills invites you...
to come, to look, to stay for a visit or a lifetime.
We're small, but growing (1958 population estimated at 4500). We’re progressive, but without big-city hustle and bustle. We’re at the center of the rich Pasco County agricultural area of Florida, yet close to the broad beaches and resort areas along the Gulf of Mexico.
In a word, we’re right where you would like to be.
Pictures and story can only suggest the charm of this delightful community. To really know the many advantages of Florida living at its best, you’ll want to see Zephyrhills for yourself.
We hope you'll do it, soon.
