Golfview
In 1915, Tampa Bay Land Co began promoting a neighborhood called Palma Ceia Park. The subdivision, owned by Thomas Palmer, included what we know today as Golfview. Tampa’s first private golf club was being touted as an inducement to attract wealthy investors: “The men and women who are buying Palma Ceia Park lots will have cause for congratulations. The opening of the Palma Ceia Golf Course will enhance the value of all the land in the surrounding territory. People of wealth and leisure will build around the course.” Truer words were never spoken: Many streets are named after Tampa’s oldest and most prominent families.
