About Ybor City

Cigar manufacturer Vicente Martinez Ybor founded this neighborhood in 1885, and Cuban, Spanish and Italian immigrants made it a cigar-making center that turned out 500 million cigars in 1929. Today it is a National Historic Landmark District centered on 7th Avenue, where you can browse cigar shops and watch independent rollers at work. Chickens roam freely through the streets, and the Columbia Restaurant is the oldest restaurant in Florida. The TECO Line Streetcar links Ybor to downtown Tampa.
