60th Anniversary

60 Years of Florida Trend

| 4/27/2018

Florida has changed a lot in 60 years — and so has this magazine. In 1958, Florida’s population was 4.5 million. Florida Trend was just getting off the ground under founder Harris Mullen. Since then, the state’s population has swelled to 21 million, and Florida Trend has changed ownership and moved from Tampa to St. Petersburg. Read about the changes Florida has undergone in the past 60 years and the trends that will shape the decades ahead.
