About Indian Shores Florida
The Indian Shores wiki gives us this tidbit:
“Indian Shores is a town in Pinellas County, Florida. The population was 1,705 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 1,792.”
The Indian Shores FL town website has this bit of history:
“Indian Rocks Beach South Shore is one of the oldest and smallest beach communities and had the longest name. It was originally an Indian campsite and got its name from the large red rocks found along its shoreline.
Its first “settlers” were a pair of Robinson Crusoe-Type brothers named Cochran.
In 1883 four Cedar Key speculators sailing to St. Petersburg, stopped to explore the Island. They were fascinated by the Island’s possibilities for future development and bought it from the Cochran Brothers for a nominal sum. It is said the brothers bartered their Island “for little more than a string of beads and $25.00, figuratively speaking, like the Indians of Manhattan”.
The region soon became a popular residential and vacation area. Many prominent Tampans built summer cottages on the Island, among them the D. B. McKays. Members of the McKay family served intermittently as Mayor of Tampa and publishers of the Tampa Tribune. …
On September 16, 1949, a group of 42 registered voters and freeholders, met for the first time in the Beach Park Restaurant upstair’s hall, to incorporate a Town under the Laws of the Florida Statute of 1941. …
On July 24, 1973, a special referendum was held by the Town as to the citizens desires to change the name of the town from Town of Indian Rocks Beach, South Shore to Indian Shores. ”
