Tampa Florida Information

Tampa is a beautiful city that is growing by leaps and bounds. Thirty years ago Tampa was a small town but today it has over one million people and many attractions. Tampa is located on the Gulf coast of Florida in the United States. The amount of changes and progress that this city has gone through over the past 30 years are amazing. There were not nearly as many people then and now the population in the Tampa Bay area is well over one million.

Tampa didn't have good roads and streets to drive on in the sixties but now it has the interstate highways, toll roads and nice neat city streets with palm trees and Crepe Myrtle trees planted along the roadside. In the sixties, the city had one major hospital, Tampa General, and a smaller hospital, St Joseph. Now, Tampa General Hospital is like a city within itself and has many people employed and it has extended branches in other areas of Tampa. Tampa has a wealth of good physicians in all areas of medicine with the University of South Florida teaching school of medicine producing many of the local physicians.
