It was April of 1528
that the first European sailed into Tampa Bay, however the exact
location is debated. Panfilo Navarez and his crew is credited by
some of naming our bay "La Bahia de Espirita Santo"--Bay of the Holy
Spirit, from which the Bay Spirit gets its title. Other sources say
it was Hernando Desoto and his some 600 soldiers when they landed in
May of 1539 down by the Little Manatee river that really named our
bay. Many of us are aware that "Tampa"-meaning "fire sticks"- and
this is the only Timucuan word still used in our inventory. Later
Indian names like "Tallahassee" (old place) and "Miami" (big water)
are widely used today. |
