Reflections from downtown Tampa, Florida, U.S.A.

            The city of Tampa is situated on the west coast of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico. This city is the economic center of western Florida. The central financial district is an area of high-rise office towers, but Tampa also has historic old sections such as Ybor City and Old Hyde Park.

The maps drawn by the Spanish conquistadors show a number of Indian settlements around the Tampa Bay area. In 1824 the Americans built a fort at the mouth of the Hillsborough River directed against the Seminole Indians. After the Second Seminole War a port and trading center were established here, and this soon developed into a regional center. The Civil War brought a period of stagnation, until a boost was given to the town by the construction of the South Florida Railroad.

Towards the end of the 19th century Tampa became a fashionable winter resort. In 1886 the Cuban cigar manufacturer Vincente Martinez Ybor moved his business to Tampa and a new quarter, Ybor City, was built for his Spanish-speaking employees. The mining of phosphates in the surrounding area also gave a stimulus to the city's development.
