The intention is to help provide targeted historical information on the water bodies in Hillsborough County. 1 Lutz (Stemper) Throughout most of the 19th century, northern Hillsborough County was settled with just a handful of homesteaders scattered across the landscape. In 1855 the state sold land around present day Lutz for one-dollar an acre. Despite such a giveaway, this section of the county still had few settlers. A colony of German Catholics established a community known as Stemper on the northwest shore of Lake Hanna in Township 27 South, Range 18 East, Section 13 during the 1890s. Led by Father Xavier A. Stemper, the immigrants created a school for area children and established a post office on November 17, 1893, with Father Stemper serving as postmaster. A stagecoach route went through the community, connecting Tampa to Brooksville. The turpentine industry dominated the area, and established a still in the heart of Stemper. By 1910, the community had workmen’s houses, a school, a grocery store, and the voting place for the district.i At the turn of the century, W.P.

    Welcome to the City of Treasure Island City Manager Position Available-Apply by September 13, 2017 Treasure Island is a slice of paradise, a beachside community located on the Gulf of Mexico. It is quaint little island with a lively, beach-y vibe, plenty of sea-salt air and rows of beautiful palm trees. The tourist industry thrives here with resorts, restaurants, and glittering white sand. The beaches and the water are the real treasures here. Living close to the lapping waves and sunshine truly is a piece of heaven. The city has three distinct beach areas. The first and widest is mid-island. Located there are most of the gulf-front motels, hotels, and condo-hotels. Its commercial area offers many restaurants and shops within walking distance of City Manager | City of Treasure Island, Florida • 1 one another.

For the more adventurous, the water offers opportunities for boating, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding and jet skis. Then there are the Florida skies for parasailing and paragliding. Can you think of a better place to take to the air or the water? At the ends of the island lie John’s Pass and Sunshine Beach to the north and Blind Pass and Sunset Beach to the south. These beaches are narrower, but stunningly beautiful. They are more residential than commercial and offer a wide variety of housing. The extraordinary architecture ranges from cottages to Key West-styled three-story homes.
