F. A. Davis began a Delaware land development company called the Florida Association. Mr. Davis came to Pinellas in 1890 and "saw the picture" in such color and perspective. He bought 12,800 acres of land on the Pinellas Peninsula, which was then called West Hillsborough County later known as Pinellas County in 1913. Then in 1909 or 1910, Mr. Davis and a group of developers sent P.J. McDevitt to Florida to establish a town near the City of St. Petersburg for the purpose of growing cane sugar. This town is now Pinellas Park, FL.
