Church of Scientology Clearwater Presents: History of Clearwater - The Beginnings

The first settlers who came to Clear Water Harbor, as it later was known, found the climate gentle and refreshing, game plentiful in the woodlands and the scenery tranquil. Gently purling from its harbor, a sulfated spring left the Gulf waters dazzling and translucent along the coastline. To fish off its shores, the first visitors to the area may have journeyed from the south, or sailed from nearby isles, or even wandered down from the northern land bridge which once spanned the continents.
