The Primary Source of History for the greater Largo, Florida area, first settled in 1843.
The first settlers in Largo were the three McKay Brothers who settled in what is now SW Largo. In the beginning Citrus and Cattle were the economic engines of Largo. Now, Electronics and Medical facilities are the primary economic drivers. The current estimated population is 90,000. With over 175 years of tradition to build on, Largo’s future is assured.
