Who was Odet Philippe?
Odet Philippe was the first permanent, non-native settler on the Pinellas County peninsula, acquiring 160 acres of land in what is today Safety Harbor in 1842. He was a successful businessman who introduced cigar making and citrus to the Tampa Bay region. His descendents, including the McMullen and Booth families, are among the county’s most well known pioneer clans.
Philippe was buried in Philippe Park – his former plantation – in 1869, but the exact location of the gravesite is unknown.
