BAILEY'S BLUFF HISTORY

Most know Bailey’s Bluff for its upscale, high-end, subdivision. But for more than 50 years, the bluff played a significant role in the local sponging industry.

Today, driving along the nicely paved streets of the Bailey’s Bluff subdivision, it’s hard to believe for nearly half a century this small section of coastal land was the scene of considerable activities, which played a significant role in the beginnings of the Tarpon Springs sponging industry.

Traces of this grand operation are scant, but its mark on our local history is great.

The birth of sponging along Pasco’s west coast can be traced to the year 1852, when one Walter Lowe went in the schooner Chestnut to Anclote Keys, and, in several days, secured a cargo of sponges.

This catch brought such large profits that other men soon embarked in the new venture.

On November 20, 1867, the bluff’s namesake, Peter Karr Baillie, received title to the 22 acres of high prime coastal land now known as Bailey’s Bluff - purchased from the state of Florida.

Baillie built a small home and established one of the first known businesses in west Pasco, a mercantile business trading with local fishermen, who visited the excellent Anclote fishery.

By the mid-1870s, the waters off Bailey’s Bluff and Anclote became a well known fishery to harvest the abundant sponges.

In 1890, under ownership of Captain Charles Floyd of Jacksonville, the crawls were moved from Anclote Keys to Bailey’s Bluff mainland, and for the next 7-years Floyd retained ownership of this successful enterprise.

In 1891, our coastal sponging industry was met with entrepreneur John King Cheyney’s newly established Anclote and Rock Island Sponge Company.

Cheney’s company created significant competition for the Bailey’s Bluff crawls, and, on May 31, 1897, with $300 down and a bond for title for an outstanding $300; Captain Charles Floyd sold the bluff enterprise to local resident Samuel Baker. By 1899 there were approximately 125 crawls located at Bailey’s Bluff, all kept under the keen eyes of watchmen Samuel B. Baker and Benjamin Baker.

In November 1912, for $900, the Baker family sold their Bailey’s Bluff property to young sponge house worker Joseph M. Blackburn.

In January 1956, the first unit of six in the upscale Bailey’s Bluff subdivision was surveyed and platted into home lots. The natural harbor of the bluff, now called Sleepy Lagoon, was dredged to create a deep boating channel for easy access from these homes to the Gulf waters.
