Pinellas County is Florida's 48th county, established on May 23, 1911, from a segment of Hillsborough County. It gains its name from a derivative of the Spanish name for the area Punta Pinal meaning "point of pines." Clearwater, originally named Clear Water Harbor because of a spring located near the Gulf coast that made the water clear and sparkling, is the county seat.
