Several museums house displays of historic artifacts, as well as art. No visit to the town would be complete without a tour of the beautiful St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral. The Sponge Capital of the World The founding of the commercial sponge industry in 1890 changed Tarpon Springs forever. The sponge beds were discovered accidentally in 1873 by Key West turtle fishermen whose nets were fouled by sponges off the mouth of the Anclote River. Spongers moved to the area to work the beds and in 1890 John Cheyney, a Tarpon Springs businessman, opened the Anclote River and Rock Island Sponge Company. During the 1890s, sponge packing houses were built, sponge presses were installed, and buyers moved to town. By 1900 the City was considered the largest sponge port in the United States. It was, however, the Greek immigrants who expanded and refined sponging in Tarpon Springs. John Corcoris, who arrived in Tarpon in 1896 as a sponge buyer for a New York firm, was responsible for the Greek involvement. John Cheyney financed his early efforts to make the industry more efficient. In 1905 Corcoris introduced the first mechanized sponge fishing boat to Tarpon Springs and brought in 500 divers from Greece. Other Greeks soon followed and established businesses to serve the Greek community, including restaurants, candy shops, coffee houses and grocery stores. 5 2016 TARPON SPRINGS VISITOR & COMMUNITY GUIDE “Visit GREECE Without a Passport” Strolling down the streets of the lively Sponge Dock area, it seems as if you’ve been transported to Greece. Strings of natural sponges sway in the breeze and the sights, sounds and sensuous aromas of an authentic Greek village fill the air. Restaurants and bakeries beckon with genuine Greek and Mediterranean dishes. Quaint shops line the streets offering everything from natural sponges harvested locally to elegant clothing, accessories, swimwear, jewelry, and shells. Sponge diving exhibitions tell the fascinating history of this important industry. Deepsea fishing and cruise excursions depart regularly from the docks. Once A Week Go Greek!

A local aquarium offers you a chance to view sharks and alligators close up and hand-feed stingrays. No other city in the United States has a higher percentage of residents of Greek heritage than Tarpon Springs. An array of everyday activities and special events exemplify this rich culture. It is expressed in the sponge docks, Greek Town, St. Nicholas Cathedral, occupations, music and dance, social organizations, family values and religious practices. The Greek Orthodox Church plays a pivotal role in the community by sustaining religious traditions. Whether expressed through iconography, architecture, chanting, vestments, or ritual, beauty in the expression of the divine is an important aspect of the religion. The Greek community has kept alive its rich variety of native music – traditional and popular, much of which can be heard in the local bistros and at the festivals held throughout the year. Both classical (Byzantine chanting) and folk, which varies regionally in style and instrumentation make up the traditional styles. Today’s popular music reflects influences from Europe and America. A popular event is the City’s Night in the Islands, with Greek music and dance, usually the first Saturday of the month. Greek Independence Day is observed with a parade and glendi (party). The Epiphany celebration (January 6), commemorating Jesus’ baptism in the River Jordan, is the largest in the U.S. Residents join thousands of visitors at a Liturgy in St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Afterwards, altar boys lead a procession to Spring Bayou, followed by church and City officials, dance troupes in colorful costumes and divers. The priest blesses the waters, then casts a white cross into the bayou. About fifty youths dive from a semicircle of dinghies. When a lucky young man finds the cross, he is carried on his friends’ shoulders back to the Cathedral to be blessed. Finally, there is a glendi with food, dancing and music.

The many and varied retail areas give small business owners a selection of opportunities. Tarpon Springs currently offers more than 230 acres of industrial-zoned land ready to be developed into light manufacturing and distribution. Its proximity to US Highway 19 makes it ideal land for development. According to Karen Lemmons, Economic Development Manager for the City of Tarpon Springs, “we encourage business development by creating opportunities for growth, including incentives through the Community Redevelopment Area, in which the City offers façade and restaurant recruitment grants.“ Lemmons continues, “We have streamlined the permitting and review process for development projects and have made several code changes to reduce costs and burdens for new business developments.” In the coming year, Lemmons concludes, “the City will be focusing on infrastructure improvements in the southern gateway area... specifically, the extension of Meres Boulevard to US 19. This roadway extension creates an important hurricane evacuation route, provides more direct access from US 19 for Florida Hospital North Pinellas and opens development opportunity for available land in the South Pinellas gateway. The City also is partnering with Pinellas County on a comprehensive strategy for the North Anclote industrial area.” 28 www.tarponspri ngschamber.com 2016 TARPON SPRINGS VISITOR & COMMUNITY GUIDE The City Commission holds public meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each month 6:30 p.m. in City Hall, located at 324 East Pine Street.

Settling by the shore near the mouth of the Anclote River, they buried their dead in earthen mounds along with elaborate pottery and other goods. The Safford Mound, discovered in the late 1800s, contained more than 600 skeletons and a wide variety of pottery illustrating the life style and culture of these prehistoric people. Artifacts from these first inhabitants can be seen at the Tarpon Springs Heritage Museum. THE BIRTH OF A CITY…In 1876 A.W. Ormond of South Carolina and his teenage daughter Mary became the first settlers of Tarpon Springs, building a cabin near Spring Bayou. One year later, Joshua Boyer arrived and docked his sloop near the Ormond cabin. He built a second cabin and married young Mary. It was Mary who in 1879 proposed their tiny two-cabin settlement be named Tarpon Springs after the giant tarpon that jumped and splashed in the bayou. THE FOUNDING FATHERS…With Florida on the edge of bankruptcy in 1881, Hamilton Disston, a wealthy Philadelphia manufacturer rescued the state with one of the biggest real estate deals ever. Disston was responsible for surveying the area that became Tarpon Springs and planning the City’s layout, as well as convincing the railroad to come to the new community. The true founder of the town and its leading citizen was Anson Safford, an investor in Disston’s enterprises. THE GOLDEN CRESCENT…Most of Tarpon www.tarponspringschamber.com Springs’ earliest development occurred around Spring Bayou. The Victorian era residences that line the banks of the bayou today are vestiges of the town’s development as a winter resort community. The area is called the Golden Crescent because of the crescent like shape of the bayou and the wealth of its early developers. The fresh water spring that flows, once known for its healing waters, is now a prime spot for manatee watching. 45 46 46 www.tarponspri ngschamber.com
