Holmes Beach was named for John E. Holmes, Sr., the property developer who started this planned community after World War II. During the World War II, Holmes would be stationed in Tampa. Holmes would get the interest of 3 others: Frank B. Giles of Georgia, Pedar Mickelsen of Minnesota and Francis Karel who was from Chicago to help develop it. In 1947 or 1948 a small airport would be created. One person would have a plane at the airport and used it as an air taxi during the tourist season and was used by residents and visitors taking them to wherever they wanted to go. Holmes Beach would be incorporated on March 13, 1950 during a meeting about incorporating with 46 voting in favor, 13 against and 1 in abstention. Opponents of incorporation argued that tax money from cigarettes and liquor sales would be lost along with county assistance for road maintenance. Those in favor of incorporation would argue that it would be easier for lenders to finance new construction on the island and give local residents an equal weight for their voice in their own government. Despite a request not to use anyone’s name, Holmes Beach was decided on, although names such as Palm City, Mid-Island Beach, Coquina Beach and Tarpon Beach were considered as well. At the end of the meeting the city’s first officials were elected.
Manatee Public Beach located at the intersection of Manatee Avenue and Gulf Drive would open in 1952 originally as Manatee County Public Beach. It would be managed by a local Kiwanis Club chapter with all proceeds going to local charity related initiatives. During the 1950s & 1960s the beach was racially segregated like many others in the Southeastern United States. It is not clear, however, when the beach was officially desegregated. The beach would be renamed Manatee Beach before being changed to Manatee Public Beach.
In 1954, Holmes Beach annexed the neighboring subdivision communities of Ilexhurst, Jones, and Casanas, bringing the entirety of Anna Maria Island under municipal governments.
