April 29, 1911 – Frank Bower, president of Tampa’s Board of Trade, claims that Hillsborough County is “safe” from being broken up, stating, “I am confident that the bill to divide Hillsborough County will never get past the [State] House [of Representatives].” Bower was wrong, and Pinellas County was created from Hillsborough County the following year.
