Davis Islands is built entirely on land created in the 1920s by dredging mud from the bottom of Tampa Bay onto two small natural islands once known as Little Grassy Key and Big Grassy Key. ## What Davis Islands does to a home appliance. Developer D.P. Davis sold the original 306 lots for a combined $1,683,582 before the Florida land boom collapsed and he was lost at sea in 1926, leaving parts of his planned resort community unfinished. Several Mediterranean-style buildings from that original 1920s development, including the Palace of Florence and Mirasol, carry National Historic Designation today. Because the islands are entirely fill rather than natural ground, homes here sit closer to the water table and face different drainage and flood considerations than mainland Tampa neighborhoods.
