About
Our Personal Chef Services in Safety Harbor, FL
Tampa
Bay Personal Chef Service provides gourmet food services
for busy professionals, couples, and families
throughout
the Tampa Bay area including: Safety Harbor, FL.
The area has been inhabited since the Stone Age. In June 2008, a 6,000
year old spearhead was found at Marshall Street Park. The inhabitants
of the area at the time of Spanish exploration were the Tocobaga
Indians, who lived in villages around Tampa Bay. They were known for
constructing various ceremonial and communal mounds, one of which is
still visible in Safety Harbor's Phillippe Park.
In 1528 Spanish explorer Panfilo de Narvaez landed in the
area followed by Hernando De Soto in 1539. Safety Harbor (formerly
known as Worth's Harbor) was first homesteaded by Count Odette
Philippe, a Frenchman who is credited with introducing the grapefruit
to Florida in 1823. The name Safety Harbor originated from the early
18th century when pirates were a substantial influence in the area.
Once ships reached this area of the bay, all threats from pirates were
gone and it was commonly referred to as a "Safe Harbor."
Safety Harbor is the home of the historic Espiritu Santo Springs, or
"Springs of the Holy Spirit", a natural mineral spring. Its waters were
given this name in 1539 by the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who
was supposedly searching for the mythical "Fountain of Youth". Prior to
the Spanish exploration of Florida, the Tocobaga and Timuquan Indian
tribes are believed to have fished and bathed in the spring's waters.
In the twentieth century, Espiritu Santo water was bottled and sold
commercially and, later, a health spa and hotel were built over the
springs. The Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, as it is now known,
continues to be a prominent visitor attraction in Pinellas County.
In 1964, the site was designated a Historical Landmark by the U.S.
Department of the Interior and, in 1997, a Florida Heritage
Landmark.
