History

Most sponges sold on the docks are now imports: Relatively few sponges are harvested from the area, although attempts have been made in recent years to restart local sponge harvesting. The population was 21,003 at the 2000 census. When a red tide algae bloom occurred in 1947, wiping out the sponge fields in that region of the Gulf of Mexico, most of the sponge boats and divers switched to fishing and shrimping for a livelihood. According to the US Census Bureau's 2004 estimates, the city had a population of 22,554.

The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, first attracted attention as a place for winter homes about 1876. The 1953 film 'Beneath the 12-Mile Reef', depicting sponge diving, takes place and was filmed in Tarpon Springs.
