Description The first recorded contact of European explorers in present-day Sarasota, Florida, was at Charlotte Harbor in 1513. Following American acquisition of the Florida Territory, the U.S. Army established Fort Armistead along the bay. The first permanent Euro-American settler was William Henry Whitaker (1821-1888), who arrived in the early 1840s. Other pioneer families include the Webbs, Lewis Colson, the Brownings, John Hamilton Gillespie (1852-1923), Owen Burns (1869-1937), and Bertha Palmer (1849-1918). The Village of Sarasota was incorporated, with Gillespie as mayor, in 1902, the same year that the West Indies Railroad was extended to the area. Sarasota was re-platted in 1912 and incorporated as a city in 1913, under the leadership of Mayor A. B. Edwards. Several of the Ringling brothers, who established the Ringling Brothers Circus in 1884, also settled in Sarasota. Charles Edward Ringling (1863-1926) and John Ringling (1866-1936) were especially instrumental in the development of Sarasota.

Title World's Largest Trailer Park Postcard Alternative Title Largest Trailer Park Postcard Subject Bradenton (Fla.) Trailers--United States Description A postcard depicting the Bradenton Trailer Park, which was the largest trailer park in the world at the time that this postcard was published in the 1950s. The trailer park was built on Tamiami Trail just south of Bradenton's business section, by the Bradenton Kiwanis Club in 1936. By the 1940s, the Bradenton Trailer Park had installed electric meters, paved streets, and continuous entertainment. By 1950, the trailer park had reached its maximum capacity with 1,190 lots. Lots were enlarged and the total number was decreased to 600 in 1966. In the 1990s, the Kiwanis sold the Bradenton Trailer Park, due to the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) to disallow the use of the trailer park for charitable purposes.
