March 15th Ybor Centennial Park Marker

This marker is also in the park area:

On June 12, 1986, the Tampa City Council passed Ordinance No. 9297-a naming this park:
“Ybor Centennial Park By Which Name It Shall Hereafter And Forever Be Known.”
Signed: Bob Martinez, Mayor; Sandra W. Freedman. Chairman, City Council

The ordinance commemorates Ybor City’s Centennial and its colorful and vibrant past.


The park officially honors Vicente Martinez-Ybor, the developer of Ybor City. This world famous cigar center gave Tampa its rich and exotic Latin Heritage.

Erected In Loving Memory Of Vicente Martinez-Ybor
