More on Apollo Beach Florida

Apollo Beach, while technically an unincorporated community, is known as its own little town in Hillsborough County Florida. It's home to about 15,000 residents.

Nestled in southern Hillsborough County and bordered North by Gibsonton, the Northeast by Riverview, to the east by Balm the southeast by Sun City Center and the West by Tampa Bay, this unincorporated community features 22.3 mi.² of beautiful Tampa Bay real estate.

Apollo Beach History

Getting its start back in 1923 on land owned by the Dickman family for farming and grazing pasture, Apollo Beach was primarily a mangrove and low elevation preserved considered uninhabitable. In the 1930s, the Dickman family decided to develop a waterfront community as the ideal was located equally between Tampa and Bradenton along US Route 41. Radar Engineering of Miami designs a subdivision including several roads, canals, schools, community services and recreational areas and in the 1950s, the Dickman family again negotiated the sale of land to three men from New York, Turner, Dean, and Clark naming the land "Tampa Beach". They believe that the association with the city of Tampa would attract more people than a name which did not properly locate the area geographically.

In the 1950s construction began on the Flamingo Canal and proceeded toward Fairway Boulevard. The idea was to extend the canal to Tampa Bay to add open water and waterfront property. But unfortunately, this project became too large for the amount of capital they had invested and for the abilities of the people involved in a 1956 they notified Dickman that they could not continue with the project.

In 1957, Francis Corr purchased the land renaming it "La Vida Beach" but according to legend, his wife Dorothy suggested "Apollo Beach" named for its greatest benefit, the sunshine. Construction began of just 50 homes in the area between US 41 and Golf & Sea Boulevard. In 1958, an agreement was reached with Robert E Lee, a South Carolina contractor to continue development in the area dredging canals in exchange for real estate.

In the 1960s, Corr sold his company in the Apollo Beach land to a Miami company known as Flora Sun Corporation, who then sold some of the land to the north to the Tampa Electric Company. However, this company failed in its obligation to purchase the land from the family and approximately seven years later the family got the land back out of bankruptcy. After this, Corr's son Thomas moved his family to the area and continue to work on the Apollo Beach project. Struggling to continue with the development and dredging of the canal system for years, the Corr family developed the community and donated lands for parks and schools preserving hundreds of acres of mangrove swamps and environmental areas. The family started at Community Bank, Chamber of Commerce, civic clubs and festivals. Thomas passed away in 1998 and in 2006 Hillsborough County honored the work of the Corr family by naming the new elementary school on Big Bend Road the Thomas P Corr elementary school.

Today, Apollo Beach is a thriving waterfront community with year-round boating, fishing, water activities, and about 55 miles of canals that lead to Tampa Bay.

"This school from freshman year, all the way to my senior year, has taught me so many life lessons, and has made me ready for college. The school is very diverse so no matter what, everyone feels welcomed. We have great athletics and academics. The school is decent sized to where we do not have to walk that far to each class we have. We are also very fortunate to have the opportunity to do Dual Enrollment at our local Hillsborough Community College! for each class we take at the college, we get one period taken off from our high school courses. We also have the opportunity to do early admissions into the University of South Florida, as long as we have the GPA, conduct, and test scores required to attend the early admissions. Not only did we have the great opportunities for academics, but we also had a variety of clubs we could choose from. East Bay is an amazing school, and well worth the time and experience." - Review of East Bay High School
