FishHawk is an unincorporated census-designated place in Lithia, Hillsborough County, Florida, United States. As of the 2010 census, the community had a total population of 14,087. The place name is derived from Fish Hawk Creek, a tributary of the Alafia River that joins the Alafia just west of Lithia Springs.
FishHawk is located at 27°51′10″N 82°12′31″W / 27.85278°N 82.20861°W (27.852803, -82.208592).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the community has a total area of 16.4 square miles (42 km2), including 16.4 square miles (42 km2) of land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) (0.37%) of water.
FishHawk is a community comprising several subdivisions, or "mini communities", located in Lithia.
The subdivisions that make up FishHawk are Starling at FishHawk (CDD2 and CDD3), The Preserve (CDD3), and FishHawk Ranch (CDD1, CDD2 and CDD4). These neighborhoods are located approximately sixteen miles east of Tampa, Florida just south of the Alafia River. FishHawk Trails and Fishhawk Ranch formerly operated as a "ranch"; these two subdivisions were built by two different companies in the 1990s.
Before these subdivisions were constructed, Fishhawk Trails was originally a wooded location through which a CSX Transportation rail track path passed. The rail tracks were removed in the late 1980s. There was once a train station in the FishHawk area that was the main import / export area of supplies, mail, and food for Lithia residents. The train station no longer exists.
