Pinellas County was incorporated on Jan. 1, 1912. As we look back at the rich history of the Pinellas Peninsula, we can see the growth and development of what has become a vibrant community with a unique character that is rich in natural wonder. As we honor the past and dedicate ourselves to the present, we look forward to an exciting future.
