Cork

Originally Cork was called Itchepuckessa. It was basically cattle raising country with very little population. Jacob Summerlin was one of the most successful cattlemen of the time. He was the owner of the post office and the general store. Summerlin sold his store after the Civil War began and became a full time cattle rancher. On December 18, 1863, W. C. Brown was appointed postmaster of Cork by the Confederste Postmaster General. The postoffice was housed in the general store. Cork is now, part of, or known as Plant City.
