Bahia de Tampa
(Tampa Bay)
Tampa Bay was first explored by Europeans in 1525, by Panfilo de Narvaez. The early explorers did not settle the area at the time, as they were searching for gold. When it became clear that there wasn't any gold to be found and that the Native Americans were unwilling to be swayed to Christianity, they moved on and the area was left alone by Europeans until the early 1800's. The area is now comprised of several cities, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, & Sarasota - as well as many other smaller towns.
