Tarpon Springs is a city found in Pinellas County, FL, with a population of 23,484. The area has been popular with people looking for homes, particularly for winter homes, since the late 1800s, when the area really started to take off.
One of the interesting things about Tarpon is that it happens to have the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the nation, who first came to the area in the 1880s to find work harvesting sponges from the sea. During certain times of the year, such as the celebration of Epiphany in the Greek Orthodox Church, the population can swell to several times its normal size, which is great for the local economy.
Residents of the area are proud of the many historical sites in the city. Some places on the National Register of Historic Places include the Safford House, the Arcade Hotel, and Old Tarpon Springs City Hall. One can also find historic sponge diving boats that harken back to the city’s earliest days.
The town holds other places of interest for locals and visitors alike. Dodecanese Avenue features shops, and some great restaurants that serve Greek food. Other fun activities include boating, swimming, windsurfing, and fishing. Tarpon Springs is a perfect place to launch a boat and visit some of the barrier islands, such as Anclote Key and Three Rooker Bar. Many just enjoy watching the waters of the Gulf.
