New Tampa History

New Tampa remained undeveloped until the late 1980's, when the city of Tampa annexed the area. Tampa Palms, the oldest neighborhood in this community, is where it all began. Conscious efforts have been made by developers to maintain New Tampa's beautiful, natural setting. Communities have guidelines that ensure the land remains preserved and the animals that live on the land, protected. A number of communities maintain their own fitness center, playground, community center, pool, tennis courts, and so much more.
