Safety Harbor, on the west shore of Tampa Bay, has been inhabited since the Stone Age; a 6,000-year-old spearhead was found at Marshall Street Park in June 2008. When the Spanish arrived, the Tocobaga lived in villages around the bay, and the archaeological Safety Harbor culture is named for sites here, which have yielded pottery and artifacts of copper, shell and stone. Most of the Tocobaga's ceremonial and burial mounds were destroyed in the early 1900s, their shells used to pave streets, but one survives in Philippe Park.
Pánfilo de Narváez landed in the area in 1528, followed by Hernando de Soto in 1539, who by tradition named the local mineral spring Espiritu Santo, "Springs of the Holy Spirit." The town, earlier called Worth's Harbor and Green's Springs, was first homesteaded by Count Odet Philippe, born in Lyon, France, in 1787 and said to be a doctor of noble birth. The first European settler in Pinellas County, he founded the St. Helena plantation, now Philippe Park, is credited with introducing grapefruit cultivation to Florida in 1823 and brought cigar-making to Tampa. By local account, the name Safety Harbor recalls the early 18th century, when ships that reached this part of the bay were safe from pirates. The town was incorporated in 1917. In the 20th century the spring water was bottled and sold, and a spa and hotel were built over the springs, now the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa.
