Tampa
Built around Fort Brooke, established by the U.S. Army in 1824, Tampa grew into a major Gulf Coast city on Hillsborough Bay, at the head of Tampa Bay. Its urban area extends from the port and downtown waterfront to broad suburban districts such as New Tampa, where Interstate 75 is a principal north–south corridor. The Hillsborough River runs through the city before entering the bay. Tampa’s modern identity also carries the legacy of Ybor City, the historic cigar-manufacturing district developed by Vicente Martínez-Ybor in the 1880s. Brick factory buildings, Latin social clubs and a large port reflect the immigrant communities that helped shape the city.

Tampa sits on Tampa Bay on Florida’s Gulf Coast, where the Hillsborough River enters a broad estuary. Downtown combines office towers and museums with the Tampa Riverwalk, a waterfront route linking public parks, the convention center and central districts. Northeast of downtown, Ybor City grew into a major cigar-manufacturing center after Cuban, Spanish and Italian workers arrived in the late 19th century; brick factory buildings and social clubs still define the neighborhood. The historic TECO Line Streetcar connects Ybor City with Channelside and downtown. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Tampa Bay relates to Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
