General Note
The river was named in the late 1700s for Wills Hills, the British Colonial Secretary and Lord Earl of Hillsborough. Opened in 1938, the Hillsborough River State Park is one of Florida's first state parks; this original Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) park is divided by the swiftly flowing Hillsborough River with a set of Class II rapids.
