Discover Palmetto
Palmetto, on the north bank of the Manatee River, has had a post office since 1868, the year Samuel Sparks Lamb of Clarke County, Mississippi, arrived. Considered the "Father of Palmetto," Lamb surveyed and platted the town, gave several lots and ran a general store, and the town took its name from the palmettos near the original site.
More about Palmetto
Palmetto was first incorporated as a village in May 1893, with P. S. Harlee as its first mayor, and reincorporated as a city in 1897. When the Seaboard Air Line Railway arrived in 1902, on its branch from Turkey Creek near Plant City to Bradentown and Sarasota, the center of town moved from the waterfront to the depot. By 1921 the Atlantic Coast Line was also running a branch from Tampa to Palmetto. The 1939 Federal Writers' Project guide counted 3,043 people and described low business buildings, clapboard houses and a riverfront busy with fishing and pleasure boats.
