Etymology
Tampa comes from a Native American name for the area that people used before Europeans arrived. One popular idea says the old word meant 'sticks of fire' or 'place of fire'—perhaps for lightning or signal fires on the shore—so a helpful way to remember Tampa is to imagine a bright fire on the bay, which explains why the place kept that name.
