Clearwater got its name from the freshwater springs along the bluffs overlooking the harbor discovered by Spanish explores who called the area Clear Water. During the Seminole Wars, Fort Harrison was located on the bluffs. Fort Harrison was utilized as a place of healing for soldiers. The soldiers were treated to views of Clearwater Harbor and the island that is now Clearwater Beach. Today, Coachman's Park is located there. Coachman's Park holds many types of events there including the annual Clearwater Jazz Holiday. While the Clearwater area is a popular winter tourist destination, it is a thriving year round community.
