The Story Behind the Street Names
Join Rodney Kite-Powell for an engaging talk held in Mapping the 14th Colony: British Florida and the American Revolution in the Touchton Map Library. Learn the interesting history of how downtown Tampa’s streets were named and why so many of them are named for military and political figures from our nation’s past. Who named them and why?

Registration is free and includes 20% off regular gallery admission to the Tampa Bay History Center during Archives Week, July 12-18.
