Dunedin

The City of Dunedin is located along the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, just west of Tampa. It is well-known for its annual Scottish celebrations and its quaint downtown. It is one of the oldest towns on the West Coast of Florida. Dunedin is a subtropical and wooded city located along almost four miles of stunning waterfront, a relaxed lifestyle, and activities for all likes and ages. Dunedin is a truly delightful place to live and visit where you will find a charming and active downtown, beautiful parks, recreational activities for all ages, history, culture and educational opportunities. Off the coast of Dunedin are Caladesi and Honeymoon Islands, both renowned for their unspoiled beauty, fish, and wildlife.

History

Dunedin is one of the oldest towns in Pinellas County and began as a remote settlement in 1852. It was originally named Jonesboro. Back in 1882, two Scottish immigrants renamed the settlement to Dunedin. The Dunedin name comes from the Scottish-Gaelic form of Edinburgh, Scotland, Dùn Èideann.

You can learn all about the Dunedin history at the Dunedin Historical Society located in a 1923 Atlantic Coast Railroad Station at 349 Main Street along the Pinellas Trail.
