History of Oldsmar

When its layout was being planned, the founder was keen on keeping it a scenic touristy city with small shops, distinct restaurants, galleries, stately homes, and vibrant events. However, the city grew and expanded. Though the old world charm is still retained, it is now a city buzzing with activity.
