Established in 1845, the same year Florida became a state, the agency provides law enforcement services throughout Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the county's many unincorporated communities. Over nearly two centuries, the sheriff's office has evolved from a frontier-era operation into one of the largest and most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the state.","The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was created following legislation passed by the Florida Legislature requiring each county in the newly admitted state to elect a sheriff. At the time, Hillsborough County had only 47 eligible voters. John Parker, a captain during the Seminole Indian Wars, became the county's first sheriff in 1845. Parker effectively operated as a one-man department and also served as the county's ex-officio tax collector.","In 1847, John Irving Hooker was elected sheriff, and by 1848 the county constructed its first jail, at a time when Tampa's population was only about 100 residents. The office gradually expanded as the county grew. Deputies were not officially added until 1857 during the administration of Sheriff Henry Parker. Three years later, under Sheriff William S. Spencer, a new jailhouse was built on Jefferson Street in 1860 to accommodate the county's increasing population and legal demands.","During the late nineteenth century, the sheriff's office reflected broader social changes taking place across Florida and the South. In 1895, Sheriff Thomas K. Spencer deputized Levin Arwood as the first Black deputy sheriff in Hillsborough County, marking a significant milestone in the agency's history. The county continued to modernize into the twentieth century, and in May 1926 a new Hillsborough County Jail opened on Pierce Street under Sheriff Luther M. Heirs.","Additional changes followed in the decades ahead. In 1929, under Sheriff Luther Hatton, Eleanor E. Robinson became the first female deputy sheriff employed by the agency, representing another important step in the department's diversification.","In 1941, Hugh Culbreath was elected sheriff and established the agency's first substation in Plant City to better serve eastern Hillsborough County. He also became the first sheriff in 53 years to win reelection when he secured a second term in 1944. In 1961, Sheriff Ed Blackburn implemented the agency's first marine unit, featuring a patrol boat known as the \"Keystone Cop.\"","During the tenure of Sheriff Malcolm Beard from 1965 to 1978, the agency established the Mounted Posse, created the School Crossing Guard program, and opened the new Morgan Street Jail in 1965. Under Sheriff Walter Heinrich, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first sheriff's office in the southeastern United States and the third in the nation to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, the agency became the first sheriff's office in the country to receive \"unconditional\" reaccreditation.","Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office expanded alongside the rapid growth of the Tampa Bay region. What began as a frontier law enforcement office evolved into a full-service agency responsible for patrol operations, criminal investigations, detention services, courthouse security, aviation and marine operations, emergency response, and numerous community programs. Under current Sheriff Chad Chronister, the agency partnered with University of South Florida's Institute for Digital Exploration to digitize and preserve thousands of historical records dating back to the nineteenth century. These records are now housed in the university's Special Collections Library in Tampa.","References: ","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office: 150 Years, 1845-1995.

Established in 1845, the same year Florida became a state, the agency provides law enforcement services throughout Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the county's many unincorporated communities. Over nearly two centuries, the sheriff's office has evolved from a frontier-era operation into one of the largest and most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the state.","The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was created following legislation passed by the Florida Legislature requiring each county in the newly admitted state to elect a sheriff. At the time, Hillsborough County had only 47 eligible voters. John Parker, a captain during the Seminole Indian Wars, became the county's first sheriff in 1845. Parker effectively operated as a one-man department and also served as the county's ex-officio tax collector.","In 1847, John Irving Hooker was elected sheriff, and by 1848 the county constructed its first jail, at a time when Tampa's population was only about 100 residents. The office gradually expanded as the county grew. Deputies were not officially added until 1857 during the administration of Sheriff Henry Parker. Three years later, under Sheriff William S. Spencer, a new jailhouse was built on Jefferson Street in 1860 to accommodate the county's increasing population and legal demands.","During the late nineteenth century, the sheriff's office reflected broader social changes taking place across Florida and the South. In 1895, Sheriff Thomas K. Spencer deputized Levin Arwood as the first Black deputy sheriff in Hillsborough County, marking a significant milestone in the agency's history. The county continued to modernize into the twentieth century, and in May 1926 a new Hillsborough County Jail opened on Pierce Street under Sheriff Luther M. Heirs.","Additional changes followed in the decades ahead. In 1929, under Sheriff Luther Hatton, Eleanor E. Robinson became the first female deputy sheriff employed by the agency, representing another important step in the department's diversification.","In 1941, Hugh Culbreath was elected sheriff and established the agency's first substation in Plant City to better serve eastern Hillsborough County. He also became the first sheriff in 53 years to win reelection when he secured a second term in 1944. In 1961, Sheriff Ed Blackburn implemented the agency's first marine unit, featuring a patrol boat known as the \"Keystone Cop.\"","During the tenure of Sheriff Malcolm Beard from 1965 to 1978, the agency established the Mounted Posse, created the School Crossing Guard program, and opened the new Morgan Street Jail in 1965. Under Sheriff Walter Heinrich, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first sheriff's office in the southeastern United States and the third in the nation to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, the agency became the first sheriff's office in the country to receive \"unconditional\" reaccreditation.","Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office expanded alongside the rapid growth of the Tampa Bay region. What began as a frontier law enforcement office evolved into a full-service agency responsible for patrol operations, criminal investigations, detention services, courthouse security, aviation and marine operations, emergency response, and numerous community programs. Under current Sheriff Chad Chronister, the agency partnered with University of South Florida's Institute for Digital Exploration to digitize and preserve thousands of historical records dating back to the nineteenth century. These records are now housed in the university's Special Collections Library in Tampa.","References: ","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office: 150 Years, 1845-1995.

Established in 1845, the same year Florida became a state, the agency provides law enforcement services throughout Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the county's many unincorporated communities. Over nearly two centuries, the sheriff's office has evolved from a frontier-era operation into one of the largest and most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the state.","The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was created following legislation passed by the Florida Legislature requiring each county in the newly admitted state to elect a sheriff. At the time, Hillsborough County had only 47 eligible voters. John Parker, a captain during the Seminole Indian Wars, became the county's first sheriff in 1845. Parker effectively operated as a one-man department and also served as the county's ex-officio tax collector.","In 1847, John Irving Hooker was elected sheriff, and by 1848 the county constructed its first jail, at a time when Tampa's population was only about 100 residents. The office gradually expanded as the county grew. Deputies were not officially added until 1857 during the administration of Sheriff Henry Parker. Three years later, under Sheriff William S. Spencer, a new jailhouse was built on Jefferson Street in 1860 to accommodate the county's increasing population and legal demands.","During the late nineteenth century, the sheriff's office reflected broader social changes taking place across Florida and the South. In 1895, Sheriff Thomas K. Spencer deputized Levin Arwood as the first Black deputy sheriff in Hillsborough County, marking a significant milestone in the agency's history. The county continued to modernize into the twentieth century, and in May 1926 a new Hillsborough County Jail opened on Pierce Street under Sheriff Luther M. Heirs.","Additional changes followed in the decades ahead. In 1929, under Sheriff Luther Hatton, Eleanor E. Robinson became the first female deputy sheriff employed by the agency, representing another important step in the department's diversification.","In 1941, Hugh Culbreath was elected sheriff and established the agency's first substation in Plant City to better serve eastern Hillsborough County. He also became the first sheriff in 53 years to win reelection when he secured a second term in 1944. In 1961, Sheriff Ed Blackburn implemented the agency's first marine unit, featuring a patrol boat known as the \"Keystone Cop.\"","During the tenure of Sheriff Malcolm Beard from 1965 to 1978, the agency established the Mounted Posse, created the School Crossing Guard program, and opened the new Morgan Street Jail in 1965. Under Sheriff Walter Heinrich, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first sheriff's office in the southeastern United States and the third in the nation to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, the agency became the first sheriff's office in the country to receive \"unconditional\" reaccreditation.","Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office expanded alongside the rapid growth of the Tampa Bay region. What began as a frontier law enforcement office evolved into a full-service agency responsible for patrol operations, criminal investigations, detention services, courthouse security, aviation and marine operations, emergency response, and numerous community programs. Under current Sheriff Chad Chronister, the agency partnered with University of South Florida's Institute for Digital Exploration to digitize and preserve thousands of historical records dating back to the nineteenth century. These records are now housed in the university's Special Collections Library in Tampa.","References: ","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office: 150 Years, 1845-1995.

Established in 1845, the same year Florida became a state, the agency provides law enforcement services throughout Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the county's many unincorporated communities. Over nearly two centuries, the sheriff's office has evolved from a frontier-era operation into one of the largest and most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the state.","The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was created following legislation passed by the Florida Legislature requiring each county in the newly admitted state to elect a sheriff. At the time, Hillsborough County had only 47 eligible voters. John Parker, a captain during the Seminole Indian Wars, became the county's first sheriff in 1845. Parker effectively operated as a one-man department and also served as the county's ex-officio tax collector.","In 1847, John Irving Hooker was elected sheriff, and by 1848 the county constructed its first jail, at a time when Tampa's population was only about 100 residents. The office gradually expanded as the county grew. Deputies were not officially added until 1857 during the administration of Sheriff Henry Parker. Three years later, under Sheriff William S. Spencer, a new jailhouse was built on Jefferson Street in 1860 to accommodate the county's increasing population and legal demands.","During the late nineteenth century, the sheriff's office reflected broader social changes taking place across Florida and the South. In 1895, Sheriff Thomas K. Spencer deputized Levin Arwood as the first Black deputy sheriff in Hillsborough County, marking a significant milestone in the agency's history. The county continued to modernize into the twentieth century, and in May 1926 a new Hillsborough County Jail opened on Pierce Street under Sheriff Luther M. Heirs.","Additional changes followed in the decades ahead. In 1929, under Sheriff Luther Hatton, Eleanor E. Robinson became the first female deputy sheriff employed by the agency, representing another important step in the department's diversification.","In 1941, Hugh Culbreath was elected sheriff and established the agency's first substation in Plant City to better serve eastern Hillsborough County. He also became the first sheriff in 53 years to win reelection when he secured a second term in 1944. In 1961, Sheriff Ed Blackburn implemented the agency's first marine unit, featuring a patrol boat known as the \"Keystone Cop.\"","During the tenure of Sheriff Malcolm Beard from 1965 to 1978, the agency established the Mounted Posse, created the School Crossing Guard program, and opened the new Morgan Street Jail in 1965. Under Sheriff Walter Heinrich, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first sheriff's office in the southeastern United States and the third in the nation to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, the agency became the first sheriff's office in the country to receive \"unconditional\" reaccreditation.","Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office expanded alongside the rapid growth of the Tampa Bay region. What began as a frontier law enforcement office evolved into a full-service agency responsible for patrol operations, criminal investigations, detention services, courthouse security, aviation and marine operations, emergency response, and numerous community programs. Under current Sheriff Chad Chronister, the agency partnered with University of South Florida's Institute for Digital Exploration to digitize and preserve thousands of historical records dating back to the nineteenth century. These records are now housed in the university's Special Collections Library in Tampa.","References: ","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office: 150 Years, 1845-1995.

Established in 1845, the same year Florida became a state, the agency provides law enforcement services throughout Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the county's many unincorporated communities. Over nearly two centuries, the sheriff's office has evolved from a frontier-era operation into one of the largest and most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the state.","The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was created following legislation passed by the Florida Legislature requiring each county in the newly admitted state to elect a sheriff. At the time, Hillsborough County had only 47 eligible voters. John Parker, a captain during the Seminole Indian Wars, became the county's first sheriff in 1845. Parker effectively operated as a one-man department and also served as the county's ex-officio tax collector.","In 1847, John Irving Hooker was elected sheriff, and by 1848 the county constructed its first jail, at a time when Tampa's population was only about 100 residents. The office gradually expanded as the county grew. Deputies were not officially added until 1857 during the administration of Sheriff Henry Parker. Three years later, under Sheriff William S. Spencer, a new jailhouse was built on Jefferson Street in 1860 to accommodate the county's increasing population and legal demands.","During the late nineteenth century, the sheriff's office reflected broader social changes taking place across Florida and the South. In 1895, Sheriff Thomas K. Spencer deputized Levin Arwood as the first Black deputy sheriff in Hillsborough County, marking a significant milestone in the agency's history. The county continued to modernize into the twentieth century, and in May 1926 a new Hillsborough County Jail opened on Pierce Street under Sheriff Luther M. Heirs.","Additional changes followed in the decades ahead. In 1929, under Sheriff Luther Hatton, Eleanor E. Robinson became the first female deputy sheriff employed by the agency, representing another important step in the department's diversification.","In 1941, Hugh Culbreath was elected sheriff and established the agency's first substation in Plant City to better serve eastern Hillsborough County. He also became the first sheriff in 53 years to win reelection when he secured a second term in 1944. In 1961, Sheriff Ed Blackburn implemented the agency's first marine unit, featuring a patrol boat known as the \"Keystone Cop.\"","During the tenure of Sheriff Malcolm Beard from 1965 to 1978, the agency established the Mounted Posse, created the School Crossing Guard program, and opened the new Morgan Street Jail in 1965. Under Sheriff Walter Heinrich, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first sheriff's office in the southeastern United States and the third in the nation to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, the agency became the first sheriff's office in the country to receive \"unconditional\" reaccreditation.","Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office expanded alongside the rapid growth of the Tampa Bay region. What began as a frontier law enforcement office evolved into a full-service agency responsible for patrol operations, criminal investigations, detention services, courthouse security, aviation and marine operations, emergency response, and numerous community programs. Under current Sheriff Chad Chronister, the agency partnered with University of South Florida's Institute for Digital Exploration to digitize and preserve thousands of historical records dating back to the nineteenth century. These records are now housed in the university's Special Collections Library in Tampa.","References: ","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office: 150 Years, 1845-1995.

Established in 1845, the same year Florida became a state, the agency provides law enforcement services throughout Hillsborough County, including Tampa, Plant City, Temple Terrace, and the county's many unincorporated communities. Over nearly two centuries, the sheriff's office has evolved from a frontier-era operation into one of the largest and most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies in the state.","The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was created following legislation passed by the Florida Legislature requiring each county in the newly admitted state to elect a sheriff. At the time, Hillsborough County had only 47 eligible voters. John Parker, a captain during the Seminole Indian Wars, became the county's first sheriff in 1845. Parker effectively operated as a one-man department and also served as the county's ex-officio tax collector.","In 1847, John Irving Hooker was elected sheriff, and by 1848 the county constructed its first jail, at a time when Tampa's population was only about 100 residents. The office gradually expanded as the county grew. Deputies were not officially added until 1857 during the administration of Sheriff Henry Parker. Three years later, under Sheriff William S. Spencer, a new jailhouse was built on Jefferson Street in 1860 to accommodate the county's increasing population and legal demands.","During the late nineteenth century, the sheriff's office reflected broader social changes taking place across Florida and the South. In 1895, Sheriff Thomas K. Spencer deputized Levin Arwood as the first Black deputy sheriff in Hillsborough County, marking a significant milestone in the agency's history. The county continued to modernize into the twentieth century, and in May 1926 a new Hillsborough County Jail opened on Pierce Street under Sheriff Luther M. Heirs.","Additional changes followed in the decades ahead. In 1929, under Sheriff Luther Hatton, Eleanor E. Robinson became the first female deputy sheriff employed by the agency, representing another important step in the department's diversification.","In 1941, Hugh Culbreath was elected sheriff and established the agency's first substation in Plant City to better serve eastern Hillsborough County. He also became the first sheriff in 53 years to win reelection when he secured a second term in 1944. In 1961, Sheriff Ed Blackburn implemented the agency's first marine unit, featuring a patrol boat known as the \"Keystone Cop.\"","During the tenure of Sheriff Malcolm Beard from 1965 to 1978, the agency established the Mounted Posse, created the School Crossing Guard program, and opened the new Morgan Street Jail in 1965. Under Sheriff Walter Heinrich, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first sheriff's office in the southeastern United States and the third in the nation to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1991, the agency became the first sheriff's office in the country to receive \"unconditional\" reaccreditation.","Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office expanded alongside the rapid growth of the Tampa Bay region. What began as a frontier law enforcement office evolved into a full-service agency responsible for patrol operations, criminal investigations, detention services, courthouse security, aviation and marine operations, emergency response, and numerous community programs. Under current Sheriff Chad Chronister, the agency partnered with University of South Florida's Institute for Digital Exploration to digitize and preserve thousands of historical records dating back to the nineteenth century. These records are now housed in the university's Special Collections Library in Tampa.","References: ","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office: 150 Years, 1845-1995.

The first such club established in Tampa was the Centro Español, founded in 1891. The Centro Asturiano began in 1902 when a group of members seceded from the Centro Español to create a club that included healthcare.  Named for the northwest Spanish region of Asturias from which many of the founding members had come, the new society was chartered as a branch of the Centro Asturiano de Habana, and was known for decades as the \"Tampa Delegation\" of the Cuban organization.","On January 22, 1909, the club dedicated a handsome red brick building, which cost $75,000.  When fire destroyed the building in 1912, club members voted to build an even larger and more impressive facility. This columned, neoclassical building, which the  Tampa Morning Tribune  called \"the most beautiful building in the South,\" opened in 1914 at a cost of $110,000. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and retains its stature as one of the most outstanding structures in Tampa's Ybor City historic district. The club's cantina provided a pleasant atmosphere for members to spend their leisure time, a place to talk, play dominos, and smoke a cigar.  The palatial ballroom was the scene of glittering social affairs, balls, tea dances, and other activities. A space was set aside for a library and gymnasium as well to promote the club's mission of education, good health and the general well-being of its members. The Centro's building served as a center of social and cultural life for its community and is still owned by the club to this day.","A central part of club life was the building's elaborate theatre.  In its heyday, the Centro theatre was the venue for plays, operas, musicals, and other performances featuring both local talent and well-known Cuban, Spanish, and Italian entertainers who made Ybor City part of their tours. During the depression years of the 1930s, the Spanish language unit of the WPA Federal Theatre presented performances in the Centro's theatre, which was also used for cigar labor union meetings and other events.","The largest of all the Tampa fraternal clubs, the Centro expanded and flourished in the early decades of the twentieth century, due in large part to its acceptance of members from various ethnicities and its medical facilities. Following World War II however, membership gradually declined as economic and demographic changes eroded the cigar-making immigrant community.  Many of the services offered by the club either became functions of government agencies or were too expensive to maintain, lessening the advantages of membership. With the assimilation of its traditional membership base into the general population, the club was no longer the center of the cohesive ethnic community it once served. Despite adversity, the Centro Asturiano has endured, serving as an icon of heritage to descendants of the Spanish immigrants who played such a significant role in the development of modern Tampa.","Note written by Paul Camp, 2006; Joe Tamargo, 2011.","Centro Asturiano De Tampa Membership Records Photograph Collection .
