Tampa is a very distinct city. The first residents were the members of the
Seminole Indian tribe that was relocated there from northern Florida and the soldiers
stationed at Fort Brook to control the reservation. The town remained a mostly military
town until the 1880s when Tampa saw its first major waves of immigration from Cuba
and Italy.
The major growth of the area did not occur until air conditioning became common
in the years after World War II, but the region has been growing steadily since
then. Tampa is now home to many native Floridians and Italians.

Rental Tampa climate is semi-tropical like the rest of Florida. Summers
are very hot and humid. Winters are cool but mild. Spring and fall are often the
nicest times of year with warm sunny days and cooler evenings. It rains a lot in
Florida especially during the summer months.
During the Spanish American War at the turn of the century, Tampa was the main port
of departure for troops heading for Cuba. During this time, the Plant Hotel was
converted into officer's accommodations, housing the Rough Riders and Teddy Roosevelt.
