BELLEAIR, FL

The Town of Belleair, Florida is a municipality located in Pinellas County on Florida’s west coast, bordered on the north by the City of Clearwater, on the east, by the City of Largo, on the south, by the city of Belleair Bluffs, and on its west, by Clearwater Harbor and barrier islands that contain some of the best beaches in the state.

The town government is a council-manager form of government, consisting of a town council of five elected officials, one of whom serves as mayor, and an appointed manager. The council and mayor serve as the legislative or policy making body for the town government, approve its annual budget, and all the local laws and ordinances that define how the town operates. The day-to-day administration of the town is the responsibility of the town manager and his/her staff, who implement town policies and deliver services to the residents.

Brief History of Belleair

In the 1890’s, railroad magnate Henry B. Plant constructed his showpiece hotel on a high bluff south of Clearwater. The hotel had its grand opening in January 1897. Its location was on a peninsula west of Tampa Bay which was to become Pinellas County in 1912. The national craze for bicycling found a home at the hotel and at the turn of the century, Belleair was the scene of six-day bicycle races and many other national and international prominent cycling events. The Belleview’s nine-hole golf course with sand greens had grown to two, 18 hole courses with Florida’s first grass greens by World War I. In 1920 the hotel was purchased from the Plant Investment Company by John McEntee Bowman, international sportsman and owner of the Biltmore chain of hotels. Hence the beginning of the new name Belleview Biltmore Hotel.

In 1925 the Town of Belleair was incorporated and the noted town planner, John Nolen, was hired to lay out the streets that constitute most of Belleair today. The grandiose plans of the early residents crashed with the stock market in 1929 and the end of the Florida Land Boom. In the early 1930’s, the town defaulted on more than $1 million of improvement bonds and the beautiful streets behind the bluff on the bay were rapidly reclaimed by weeds and undergrowth.

Following the war, most of the land south of the Belleview Biltmore, including the never finished Pelican (now Belleview Biltmore) Golf Course, was purchased by two companies owned by the late E. W. Hallett. The massive cleanup to restore the town resulted in few land sales, leaving Belleair with its constant population of 300 pioneer souls.

The 1950’s saw the rebirth of the town with new construction bringing the population to approximately 2,200 by 1955. The next large growth in the town took place in the late 1960s to early 1970s when U.S. Steel purchased the land in front of the Hotel and the Island to the west of the hotel. A large community of condominiums was constructed and resulted in boosting the town’s population to approximately 4,000.
