The City and area of New Port Richey is rich with history dating back to the early 1900’s.
Located about 35 miles north of Tampa, the city of New Port Richey has the Pithlachascotee River flowing through its downtown area. Every year, the 11-day Chasco Fiesta, held along the banks of the river, celebrates Native American heritage with a pow-wow, floats, a boat parade and entertainment.
During the 1920’s, New Port Richey entertained the Hollywood crowd, attracting film stars Thomas Meighan, Gloria Swanson and Ed Wynn, author Pearl Buck, among others. Since the 1970’s the City of New Port Richey has focused on redevelopment and there are a number of villa resorts and properties for rental.
