Lillibridge

Description
The small town of Lillibridge in SE Hillsborough County, near Picnic, no longer exists. If you travel East on Jameson Road off of SR 37, you'll cross a bridge over the South prong of the Alafia River. It was along these banks that Lillibridge was first settled in 1889 and fully established by 1897. The town was a sizeable mining community that died out when nearby phosphate mines closed and moved operations elsewhere in the County.

The house was one of the last reminders that a community existed about 3 miles east of today’s state SR 39.
