City of Tampa Snapshot
Disregarded by its first owners, the Spanish in 1517 and the British in 1763, Tampa is now a thriving city on the Gulf Coast of Florida. It joins Clearwater and St. Petersburg in forming the Tampa Bay Area. The city uses a mayor-council form of government with seven council members, one from each of four districts and three at-large. The mayor and council members are elected to four year terms. They set policy and the chief of staff carries it out by running the day-to-day operations of the city. In addition to tourism and the port of Tampa, major area industry includes agriculture, construction, health care, and military operations. Tampa, which has a population of about 340,000, was incorporated in 1855.
