Clearwater Florida |
Clearwater is located in Pinellas County just west of Tampa between Tarpon Springs and St Petersburg along Highway 19 near Hillsborough Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Clearwater is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida metro area.
Literally translated "Clear Water" from the native Indian "Pocotopaug", the region was named for its abundant fresh water springs along the shore. Settled by colonists in the mid-1830s, it was not until the 1890s that Clearwater received a reputation as a resort community.
Today, sun seekers still come from all parts of the world, and although Clearwater is a great spot to get away, it's an even better place to live.
the City of Clearwater offers conference and exhibition facilities at the Harborview Center. This center is situated on the bluff overlooking Clearwater Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico on the western side of downtown. The facility has conference space available for 40 to 1,400 people and an exhibition space of 30,000 gross square feet (180 booths).
