Tarpon Springs Past
Established in 1887 where the Anclote River meets the Gulf of Mexico, Tarpon Springs is the oldest city in Pinellas County, Florida.  A popular winter resort and arts destination in the early 1900s, Tarpon Springs is best known for its internationally renowned sponge trade that dates back to 1873.  Professional sponge divers still search for sponges off the coast of Tarpon Springs that they sell all over the world.

Tarpon Springs Present
Tarpon Springs continues to grow and attract businesses, families and retirees.  Tarpon Springs’ downtown, with its eclectic mix of antique shops, boutiques, galleries and museums, is on the National Register of Historic Places.  Tourism has replaced sponging as the city’s major economic activity as thousands are drawn to the city’s thriving downtown, arts community, parks, waterfront, Greek culture, Sponge Docks and more.
