7/25 Today in Florida History from the Florida Historical Society!

1884 – The first edition of the “West Hillsborough Times,” the predecessor to the “Tampa Bay Times,” was printed on this date. Produced by a local doctor, a pharmacist, and a printer, this early press had a circulation of only 480. The paper changed hands a number of times over the next few decades and its headquarters moved from Dunedin to St. Petersburg. In 1898 the name was officially changed to the “St. Petersburg Times.” The paper grew during the twentieth century, and in 2012 it was renamed the “Tampa Bay Times.”
