History of Palm Harbor
Established by J.C. Craver in 1877, and initially called Sutherland, an abbreviated form of the term Southern Land and Development Company, which oversaw its growth, the town's name was eventually changed to Palm Harbor in 1925. But the depression kept it from developing into a city and it was never incorporated in Pinellas County. Twenty years ago Palm Harbor was mostly a citrus farm, today it has turned into one of the most affluent unincorporated communities in the Tampa Bay area. And, since 2002 a movement toward making Palm Harbor into an incorporated area of Pinellas County has been initiated.
