Its history began upon January 20, 1857, when John Brandon arrived at Fort Brooke (now Tampa) from Mississippi similar to his first wife Martha and six sons. At first he moved his family to what is now the Seffner area. Then in August 1858, John Brandon purchased 40 acres (160,000 m) in the New Hope area (now Brandon) and 160 acres (0.65 km²) later upon and after that named his land “Brandon”. John and his second wife Victoria’s home was located on what would become the corner of Knights Avenue and Victoria Street. Four years later, the New Hope Church was built on land donated by Brandon. Besides visceral the first church in the community, it moreover served as Brandon’s first school.

In 1890, the Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad came through the area, encouraging the people of New Hope to build a depot upon Moon Avenue. Charles S. Noble, an engineer for the FC&P, was asked to plat nearly forty acres of home north of present-day State Road 60, south of Lake Meade, east of Kings Avenue, and west to Parsons Avenue. Filed upon April 24, 1890, the surveyor named the community in great compliment of John Brandon and Noble Street for himself.
