A post office called Palmetto has been in operation since 1868. Samuel Sparks Lamb is considered the “Father of Palmetto,” having surveyed and plotted the city at its outset and donated several plots of land. He owned a general merchandise store in town. Samuel Sparks Lamb was from Clarke County, Mississippi and would arrive in the area near the Manatee River in 1868 establishing Palmetto. The city received its name from the palmetto trees near the original town site. Palmetto would first be incorporated in May 1893 as a village with its first mayor being P.S. Harlee. Palmetto would be reincorporated as a city in 1897 and in the following years grew. In 1902 with the arrival of the railroad, the center of town moved from the waterfront to the Seaboard Air Line train station, served by Sarasota Branch from Turkey Creek near Plant City through Palmetto to ‘Bradentown’ and Sarasota. By 1921, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad would be operating a Tampa Southern Railroad Branch from Tampa to Palmetto and ‘Bradentown’.
Compiled during the late 1930s and first published in 1939, the Federal Writers’ Project’s Florida guide listed Palmetto’s population as 3,043 and described it as:
on the north bank of the Manatee River, has low frame-and-brick business buildings and numerous clapboard houses. The riverfront is alive with fishing and pleasure craft. Much of the town’s income is derived from the packing and shipping of fruits and vegetables.
