GULFPORT TOWN SHORE-55 PLUS CONDOS.

undefined    GULFPORTTOWNSHORES.COM  Gulfport is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States, a suburb of St. Petersburg. The population of Gulfport was 12,527 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 12,740 [1]. Gulfport is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL Metropolitan Statistical Area, the 19th largest MSA in the country. The town was originally named Disston City in 1884 when Hamilton Disston purchased land here. The United States Postal Service would not recognize the name as it conflicted with a town in Hillsborough County. Instead, it was named Bonifacio. In 1890, the town name was changed to Veteran City. Finally, in 1910, the name officially changed to Gulfport. Gulfport is distinguished by its high concentration of artisans inspired by the intense light and tropical scenery, enhanced by the swaying palms. A celebration the first Friday and third Saturday of each month called "Art Walk" attracts locals and tourists. Many street performers, artists and craftspeople show up to create a relaxed cultured atmosphere in the warm balmy evening breezes coming off the beach at the end of the street. A free trolley runs all around Gulfport to stop at restaurants, clubs and points of interest. Gulfport Casino on the beach is a venue for live theatrical performances, dance and many other activities. Teams assemble nearby for beach volleyball, while others enjoy picnics with tots on park swings. Stetson University Law School, founded in 1900, is located in Gulfport (having moved there in 1954 from its original location in DeLand). // PASADENA YACHT CLUB    CITY OF GULFPORT FLORIDA        Performing Arts  CONTACT: REALTOR(R)  (Real estate information                                  RICHARD D.

GULFPORT FLORIDA

CITY OF GULFPORT FLORIDA   Scroll Down Page Gulfport is known as the “Gateway to the Gulf,” due to its location just southwest of St. Petersburg, which is generally considered the departure for the Gulf of Mexico. Gulfport faces Boca Ciega Bay, which leads into the Gulf. The town dates back to 1867, and today the tree-lined streets around Beach Boulevard still have some of the beautiful old buildings and charm of the era. The only tall buildings in the town are some condos located along the shore, but this doesn’t spoil the tranquil old south feeling of the town. There are some very good restaurants in Gulfport, and a new pier that has spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset, as well as dolphins that often play in the Boca Ciega Bay. There is a famous pink hotel located at the entrance of Pass-A-Grille-Beach where many Hollywood movies have been filmed. Also, if you like fishing, you’ll love Gulfport where catfish and other species are plentiful is the area’s waters.
