TARPON SPRINGS FLORIDA HISTORY

The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, was first settled by white and black farmers and fishermen around 1876. Some of the newly arrived visitors spotted tarpon jumping out of the waters and so named the location Tarpon Springs. In 1882, Hamilton Disston, who in the previous year had purchased the land where the city of Tarpon Springs now stands, ordered the creation of a town plan for the future city.   On February 12, 1887, Tarpon Springs became the first incorporated city in what is now Pinellas County.  Less than a year later on January 13, 1888, the Orange Belt Railway, the first railroad line to be built in what is now Pinellas County, arrived in the city.  During this time the area was developed as a wintering spot for wealthy northerners.
