Founded in 1886 by
Vicente Martinez Ybor, Ybor City became "the cigar capital of the
world" by 1900. The factories were worked by mostly Cuban cigar
makers and to a lesser degree by Italians and Spaniards. By the early
1950's the cigar factories had all closed up shop. Ybor City is one of only
three National Historic Landmark Districts located in the State of
Florida. Cobblestone streets and huge old cigar factory buildings make up
this historic and legendary town. In the late 1990’s, Ybor City went
through a revitalization and now attracts a large amount of visitors due to the
wide variety of eclectic shops, restaurants, clubs, and art galleries.
