History of the city

The word “Tampa” is of Native American origin, but its meaning has been lost. Some researchers believe that the name of the city comes from the Calusa tribe and translate it as “Fire sticks”. Scientists suggest that the Native Americans called fire sticks lightning – a very common occurrence during storms in the bay.

It is believed that the first Europeans to visit Tampa were Spanish conquistadors in 1528. In 1821, the United States purchased Tampa from Spain: by doing so, the government sought to eliminate the refuges of slaves who had fled here from the southern states, and to reduce Indian attacks. nine0005

In 1849, Tampa was a village of 200 people. The growth of the population and the development of the city were hindered by swamps with mosquitoes carrying yellow fever. The fishing village had no industry and no roads, it was isolated from other cities. The situation began to change from the 1880s, when phosphate was found in the city and a railway was laid.

Tampa is still a major producer of phosphate. American industrialist Vicente Martinez Ybor set up a cigar business in Tampa, and others followed suit. Gradually, other industries began to develop. Tampa became the “cigar capital” and one of the largest cities in the United States by 1900s.

The ethnic composition of the city is heterogeneous: the descendants of immigrants from Europe make up about 50% of the population, the remaining 50% are African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Indians.

Where to Stay in Tampa for Sightseeing

There are several good places in Tampa, depending on your reason for visiting. Staying in the city center is a great option for sightseeing and entertainment. You may want to stay close to Busch Gardens if that is your main reason for visiting, or near the stadium if you are going to watch a football match. Below are some highly rated hotels in these top locations.

• Luxury Hotels: Centrally located, Le Meridien is an upscale hotel in a former federal courthouse and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A bit away from the action of the city center, but in a beautiful area is the modern Hotel Epicurean. If you’re coming to Tampa to see a game, the renaissance near Raymond James Stadium is a great option. nine0010
• Mid-Range Hotels: Downtown Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina overlooking the waterfront; pleasant outside patios; and large comfortable rooms. In the same category is the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk, also with great location and scenic views. Both of them have pools and are conveniently located for visiting Ybor City or the Florida Aquarium. In a stunning location in the Historic Ybor District, the Hilton Garden Inn features an outdoor pool and hot tub. The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Tampa N, near Busch Gardens, is a good choice for families. nine0010
• Cheap Hotels: A short drive from Ybor City is the Quality Inn and Suites, with a great location for this price range. Near the Raymond James Stadium is the inexpensive Comfort Suites. Also good value and near the stadium is Clarion. Both are a bit far from the city center but within a reasonable distance if you have a car and ideally located if you are here to see the game.

The center of Tampa’s Hispanic community, Ybor City is a National Historic District. It is named after its founder, cigar baron Vicente Martinez Ybor.

At one point, the Ybor cigar factory was the largest in the world, with over 4,000 people hand-rolling over 900,000 cigars per month. However, the Great Depression and machine rollers ended the boom and most of the factories were closed and demolished. The area has experienced a revival in recent years and is home to many shops, galleries, restaurants and cafes. Seventh Avenue in the city of Ybor, known in Spanish as “Septima”, has some of the area’s most historic buildings, several of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This historic institution was founded in 1905 by Cuban immigrant Casimiro Hernandez, Sr. Colombia is famous for its Spanish cuisine, dining shows and old world architectural charm.
