Wimauma is an unincorporated census-designated place in Hillsborough County, Florida, United States.
Wimauma was located on a 55-mile (89 km) railroad route that was built south from Durant to Manatee County and into Sarasota, with construction starting in 1895.
It became the Florida West Shore Railway on May 9, 1903 and then merged into the Seaboard Air Line Railroad in 1909.
He decided to found a town at the halfway point, opening a post office there on October 24, 1902.
The town was officially incorporated in 1925 as the county's fourth municipality, but the city government ceased to function some time in the 1930s.
In 1993, this fact was rediscovered, but it was concluded that the incorporation was no longer valid after about 60 years without a city government.
Wimauma is bordered to the north by Balm, to the west by Sun City Center, and to the south by Manatee County.
