Odet Philippe is credited with introducing grapefruit to Florida back in the 1800's, with his 160-acre plantation in Safety Harbor. Today, grapefruit is a billion-dollar industry in Florida and employs thousands. Safety Harbor is honored that the seeds of this important industry began in this community.
