Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Clearwater, Florida was originally inhabited by the Tocobaga tribe, who lived along the shores of Tampa Bay. In the 1830s, European settlers began to establish a presence in the area, with the arrival of the United States Army during the Seminole Wars. The name “Clear Water” was bestowed upon the city in 1841 by the Army due to the sparkling clear waters of the nearby springs. By the late 19th century, the city had become a popular destination for tourists seeking refuge from the harsh winters up north. The establishment of a railroad line in 1888 further fueled the growth of Clearwater as a tourism hot spot. In the early 20th century, the city experienced a boom in development, with the construction of hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Today, Clearwater is known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant downtown area, and laid-back atmosphere. It continues to attract visitors from around the world, making it a popular destination for both tourists and residents alike.
