West Tampa Where It All Began.
Steeped in the rich traditions of its diverse cultural heritage, West Tampa was long home to the vibrant lifestyles and ethnic rhythms of this area. Along with Ybor City, the community was the center of the energetic cigar industry that fueled the area's growth and first attracted attention to this locale. West Tampa continued as a vital and essential component in the fabric of this region until it was absorbed into the City of Tampa in 1925. For decades, it continued playing a vital role as one of Tampa's most prosperous and populated neighborhoods.
Today, West End Tampa, strategically located on the periphery of Tampa's downtown, offers residents a neighborhood with its heart firmly rooted in the rich traditions that anchor its colorful past.
