Connerton is a census-designated place in Pasco County, Florida, United States, off U.S. 41. Its population was 5,282 as of the 2020 census.
History The Conner family owned and operated Conner Ranch, a working cattle ranch set on the 8,000 acres that now makes up Connerton. The family sold the land in early 2000 to a developer who originally planned to build more than 15,000 homes and up to three golf courses. The original plan was later modified to protect much of the natural lands. Development began a couple years later with the first homes being sold in 2005. The development was stunted with the downturn in the housing market after a small portion of the full scale residential development was built out. As of 2012 construction plans were once again moving ahead.Laura Kinsler Connerton development gets new life May 9, 2012 The Tampa TribuneIn 2019, Lennar Homes became the majority land owner in Connerton after purchasing the remaining undeveloped land for $26 million.
