Many major cities in the United States have histories dating back into the 1700s, but Tampa, along Florida’s western coast, was started in the 1820s. It began as a military fort and was soon surrounded by pioneer encampments. This occurred because the area was still home to somewhat large numbers of Native Americans who survived the earlier visits by Spanish Conquistadors in the 1500s. More >>>

The ability for extensive outdoor living within a well-developed urban area has consistently won recognition for Tampa. For example, the New York University newspaper selected it as an ideal city for those in their 20s, and Forbes ranked it in the top five outdoor cities as well.  More >>>
