There are currently about 45 equestrian property owners who maintain stable facilities for both public and private use. Approximatley 750 horses scattered over roughly 200 acres share habitat with their owners. It is this combination of horse and rider that share the surrounding environment with motorized and nonmotorized traffic over public and private roadways, trails, pathways and sidewalks. Many residents within the community and its surrounding neighborhoods have come to look upon horseback riding as a usual and accepted activity. Evidence of meandering trails used by horseback riders can be found threaded throughout the limits of the community, neighboring parks and roadways. In some areas, the trails are noncontiguous due to various barriers, roadway crossings, large drainage channels and private property interests.

Mr. McDevitt set up a land office, represented the company, financed building a Catholic church and loaned money in times of need. The McDevitt family had the first automobile and the first phone that was on a wall in a hallway, available for all settlers in Pinellas Park to use. P.J. McDevitt was elected as Mayor from 1914-1917 & 1926-1932 and, along with James R. Shoecraft, created Pinellas Park’s first drainage district to dredge the major drainage canals that still are life-saving arteries in rainy seasons. He and all of the town would turn out at the ACL Railroad Station to greet newcomers to Pinellas Park.

Howarth served the people of Pinellas Park for three decades. She kept Pinellas Park residents warm in the winter filling their furnaces with oil even when some couldn’t pay. Helen owned Park Oil Company, drove trucks, cleaned stoves and took orders and was known to many of the town’s children as “Granny Good” for providing food, bundles of clothing and other gifts on doorsteps to express her concern for children in need. She initiated the building of a historical museum. The people of Pinellas Park knew who Helen Howarth really was. She talked straight, talked loud and disdained euphemism.

A. Davis began a Delaware land development company called the Florida Association. He bought 12,800 acres of land on the Pinellas Peninsula, which was then called West Hillsborough County. It bacame known as Pinellas County in 1913. In 1909 or 1910 Mr. Davis and a group of developers sent P.J. McDevitt to Florida to establish a town near the City of St. Petersburg for the purpose of growing cane sugar. The peninsula remained a part of Hillsborough County until 1913, but reference in testimonials referred to Pinellas Farms or the Pinellas Peninsula. Model Farm No. 1 (there would be two others) became the showplace for visitors or potential colonists. Mr. Davis also built the Colony House, at a point where 60th Street now crosses Park Boulevard.

He moved to Pinellas Park in 1911 and served on the first town council. He was elected mayor from 1917-1926 and 1932-1953. He served on the county commission and was presented with the Angus Smith award for outstanding service by the Pinellas Republicans. He fought for a bigger Pinellas Park. He championed the construction of County Roads 15 and 16 and Welch Causeway, which provided a short cut to the Gulf Beaches from the western end of Gandy Bridge. He was one of the original backers of the program to create Lake Seminole and led the drive to extend Pinellas Park’s Park Boulevard to tie in with the Gulf Coast Highway. He crusaded for many years to get the Joe’s Creek and Sawgrass Lake drainage projects and along with P. J. McDevitt created Pinellas Park’s first drainage district. He was a chief proponent of the county commissioners’ taking over the old drainage districts and the obtaining of legislation under which a countywide millage levy sufficient to tackle big drainage problems one-by-one on a pay-as-you-go basis was levied. He served two terms as Director of the Pinellas Soil and Water Conservation District, Director of the Florida Association of Soil Conservation, president of the Pinellas County Farm Bureau, represented Pinellas County on the West Coast Inland Navigation District (unit represented six counties along the lower West Coast interested in securing the intracoastal canal’s completion from Fort Myers northward to Tarpon Springs.) Served as school trustee in District 15 and was a member of the Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg Chambers of Commerce, the Presbyterian Church, Masons, Lions Club and the United Order Junior American Mechanics, all of PinellasPark; Elks Club and General Leonard Wood Camp SAWV of St. Petersburg. As a professional agriculturist, he had a flower farm and became Florida’s first expert grower of perishable flowers. In 1953, fellow citizens honored him by naming a new building at the County Fair Grounds after him.

The total population was 600. They were among the first 200 homeowners in Pinellas Park to receive water service and received a free water meter. Doris and Stanley at one time owned the city’s largest land development company. Stanley and Doris were founders of Little League Baseball in Pinellas County and were both active in developing the program and the ball fields in Pinellas Park. In December 1982, Doris Broderick deeded 3.80 acres of land at 6755 62nd St. to the City of Pinellas Park. The land was developed through a Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant, and named the Stanley and Doris Broderick Park. The city purchased additional acreage abutting the original section of the park in May 1988, expanding the size of the park to 10.08 acres. In 1983 Doris was named a Pinellas Park Achiever for her work and dedication for encouraging the growth and prosperity of the city. In 1988 she was chosen as Pinellas Park Citizen of the year for her lifelong involvement with the city and its youth activities.
