Davis Islands was developed later on in the early 1890s. A Tampa native, D.P. Davis, purchased the swampy islands with the intention of transforming them into a habitable community. He purchased the islands for $350,000 and was fought by surrounding owners who argued that the city shouldn’t be allow to sell the land since it was partially submerged in water.
