Davis and Harbor Islands

Tampa, Florida, traces its history back to the early 16th century when Spanish explorers first arrived in the area. Originally inhabited by indigenous peoples such as the Tocobaga and Seminole tribes, Tampa’s strategic location along the shores of Tampa Bay made it a significant hub for trade and commerce. In the 19th century, the area saw an influx of settlers, including Cuban and Spanish immigrants, who established cigar factories and bolstered the local economy. The arrival of the railroad in the late 1800s further fueled Tampa’s growth, leading to the development of thriving industries such as shipping, cigar manufacturing, and tourism. Throughout the 20th century, Tampa continued to evolve into a major urban center, with the construction of landmarks such as the Tampa Bay Hotel (now part of the University of Tampa) and the growth of neighborhoods like Ybor City and Hyde Park. Today, Tampa stands as a vibrant metropolis with a rich cultural heritage, diverse population, and dynamic economy, reflecting its storied past while embracing the opportunities of the future.
