Even before the Civil War, pioneers began to trek southward to Florida, including the Palm Harbor area. The year round warm weather made the area conducive to farming, citrus groves, and fishing. Warm mineral springs gave birth to spas and health resorts. Some citrus groves are still in existence, and fishing & farming still provide a livelihood to some area residents. For a day of relaxation, visit one of our resorts, parks, or nearby beaches.

Situated on the Gulf of Mexico, about midway down the Florida penninsula, the charming community of Palm Harbor has a short but rich history, a prosperous present, and a most promising future.
