History of Pasco County, Florida


RECENT UPDATES: A wonderful picture of personnel at Swartsel Groves in Elfers in perhaps the 1950s is here. If you right-click on the picture and choose ORIGINAL, you can see great detail in the picture. Photo provided by Mark Swartsel.

A picture from the 1927 dedication of the New Port Richey Main Street Bridge is here. We’ve had this picture for a while but did not know the occasion or most of the names until now.
