The Zill mango was first propagated in the 1930s in Boynton Beach, Florida by Carl W. Campbell. Campbell was a pioneer in the development of new mango cultivars in Florida. He named the cultivar after his friend, George Zill, who was also a mango enthusiast and owner of a mango nursery in Boynton Beach.
