Palm
Harbor was originally called
Sutherland after the Southern Land and Development Company. It was
platted in
1888 as part of Hillsborough County. Its name went through several
changes
through the years. For a short time the name was Yellow Bluff, but due
to the
prevalence of Yellow Fever and not wanting the association of the
disease connected
to its name, Palm Harbor became the name of choice. The name was
changed to Palm
Harbor in 1925. There were two beautiful hotels with one overlooking
Sutherland
Bayou and the Gulf of Mexico. It became Southern Collage in 1902. |
