Gulfport Florida Real Estate

Located in Pinellas County, Florida, the city of Gulfport is part of the Tampa Bay area, and has a population of 12,029 according to the 2010 census.

Gulfport has an interesting history. The area went through several names in the early years. In 1884, they tried to name it Disston City after landowner Hamilton Disston. The USPS would not allow for the name though, as it was the same as a town in neighboring Hillsborough County. Instead, they called it Bonifacio. Six years later the name was changed to Veteran City, and 20 years after that, in 1910 the name was finalized as Gulfport.

Gulfport has a nice waterfront culture that evokes a small town feel. There is a marina nearby, and you can always see sailboats moored in the bay just off the beach. Gulfport Beach is right downtown and on Boca Ciega Bay. It’s a great place to swim, play, or just sit on the sand. Clam Bayou Nature Park is a popular attraction too, and in the the downtown area residents can find art galleries, a theater, places to dine and shop, and more.

Art is very popular in the city. On the first Friday and the third Saturday of every month the city features an “Art Walk”, where you can find residents and tourists alike strolling the vendor bays. On Tuesdays, between 9AM and 3PM all year long, they hold a Fresh Market along the Gulfport Waterfront district where they sell seafood, produce, baked goods, arts and crafts, and more. Gulfport has some popular annual festivals as well, including SpringFest, Get Rescued in Gulfport, and Gecko Fest.
