South Pasadena, FL was known as Pass-A-Grill Way back in 1942 when eight
buildings and one main street was all there was. Tourists, travelers, and
sight-seers were attracted to shimmering bluish-green waters of Boca Ciega Bay,
tall Australian pines and swampy jungles that housed raccoons, wild cats, and
birds of all kinds. In 1948, local businessmen decided that police and fire
protection were needed for its 23 residents; hence Coreytown was born. Back in
the 1920's, the William D. McAdoo toll bridge extended from the waters edge of
Villagrande Avenue to the shores of 87th Avenue on St. Pete Beach. The bridge
was the main thoroughfare for traffic to the beaches. In 1951, The Circuit Court
dissolved Coreytown because it failed to get 25 freeholders to turn out for an
election. The City of South Pasadena was incorporated on July 1, 1955 with 150
residents, one policeman and a meeting hall. Maynard Duryea became the first
mayor, laying the foundation for a new era...Today South Pasadena is a
great place to live, invest or visit. Surrounded by water many of the condo
complexes and homes either have direct access or views. South Pasadena is still
a bargain compared to most of the surrounding areas.
