Tarpon Springs is a very unique town, located in northern Pinellas County, FL. It first attracted attention around 1876, as a place to build winter home. The town got it's name from the tarpon fish that were frequently seen jumping out of the water. The first greek immigrants arrived during the 1880's when they were hired as divers in the growing sponge harvesting industry. Tarpon Springs is a very popular stop for vacationers here on the Gulf coast of Florida. Shops along Dodecanese Avenue in downtown Tarpon Springs are such a unique sight. A perfect blend of both historic and modern features. Many (0 comments)
