| Bradenton, the largest city of Manatee
County with a population of 54,303 as of April 2005,
has a history that dates back several centuries. The
area was discovered in 1539 by Hernando DeSoto when
he landed on Shaw’s Point to begin his 4,000
mile trek in search of El Dorado, “the lost
city of gold.” Originally known as the Village
of Manatee, it was later named after the sugar magnate,
Joseph Braden, whose industrial entrepreneurship continues
to make Bradenton a commercial mecca. For over 100
years, Tropicana Products has produced its juice products
in the city, and Champs Sports, Bealls Corporation,
and Wellcraft are all based in the area.
Located just south of Tampa, Bradenton epitomizes
the alluring charm of melding nostalgic beauty with
modern convenience. Stretching along the southern
bank of the Manatee River, this city extends homebuyers
and renters a variety of housing options in established
neighborhoods as well as newer communities. The
quaint downtown district is a thriving hub where
county government, industry, healthcare, and the
arts are conducted. The city also plays host to
the Pittsburgh Pirates’ spring training.
