“From Pines and Palmettos : A Portrait of Largo, Florida”
Are
you looking for that perfect gift for a family member or friend? Many early
settlers described the area that was to become Largo, Florida as little more
than pines and palmettos. The Largo Area Historical Society invites you to
walk the pathway to Largo’s past with some of those who carved our city
from those meager Southern flatwoods. “From Pines and Palmettos …
” follows the evolution of our city from the formation of its land,
through its explorers and pioneers, and its progress from its birth as a town
of 200 people in 1905 to a thriving city of 80,000. This hard-cover book contains
over 200 pages of history enhanced by 275 nostalgic photographs. For a limited
time, the Society is offering a free one-year membership in the Largo Area
Historical Society with the purchase of a copy of “From Pines and Palmettos
