Water damage near an incorporation-era fire and springs
Safety Harbor incorporated as a city in 1917, and a major fire swept through the young downtown shortly after; the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, built around the Espiritu Santo mineral springs, opened in 1924 with its main building completed in 1926. The bayfront springs district has been rebuilt more than once, first from fire and later from decades of Gulf Coast storm seasons.
Old Tampa Bay flooding after Helene and Milton
Hurricane Helene's September 26, 2024 landfall drove historic storm surge into Tampa Bay, and Hurricane Milton followed on October 9 with additional surge and countywide storm damage. Safety Harbor's position on Old Tampa Bay near the springs means bayfront property faced more direct exposure to both 2024 storms than the town's inland streets.
