Main article: History of Bartow, Florida A Spanish map of the Florida peninsula drawn in 1527 shows a native settlement called Rio de la Paz near present-day Bartow. Little is known about these Native Americans who made their home near present-day Bartow, but it is likely that they suffered the same fate as pre-Columbian natives elsewhere death by European diseases such as smallpox and yellow fever. The remnants of these pre-Columbian citizens s probably joined Creek Indians who appeared from the north and turn into the Seminole Indian tribe. The Armed Occupation Act of 1842 facilitated settlement of the Florida peninsula in the 1840s, although the act did prohibit settlement near the Peace River as that was considered Seminole land. Enforcement of that part of the act was not strictly enforced; however, and pioneer eventually moved out of the Tampa Bay region and into the area. As the settlement grew, the inhabitants began to plant citrus trees and build one room school homes and churches. In 1851, Fort Blount was established by Redding Blount just west of current downtown Bartow. At some point in the 1850s, Fort Blount became Peace Creek or Peas Creek, a name dating back to the Rio de la Paz of early Spanish maps. About a month after the secession of Florida in 1861, the state established Polk County from the easterly portion of Hillsborough County. A several months later, the American Civil War began with the Battle of Fort Sumter.
Because of the turmoil of secession and the war, the county had no official governmental center of county for its first six years of existence. The state council had directed the voters of Polk County to choose a site for the governmental center of county and mandated that the site be titled "Reidsville." During the war, the area's primary contribution to the Confederacy was supplies of food. The Union army and navy had effective control of the west coast of Florida, and many cattlemen retreated inland and formed the "Cow Cavalry" as a defense against Union troops. One of the wealthiest members of the Cow Cavalry was Jacob Summerlin. Summerlin purchased the Blount property in 1862 and donated a large parcel of territory to build a county courthouse, two churches and a school. Later that year, the town which had been known as Fort Blount, Peace Creek, Peas Creek, and briefly Reidsville was permanently retitled Bartow with respect to Francis S.
Like much of the south, Bartow recovered slowly from the war as inefficient and often corrupt Reconstruction governments did little to rebuild the fractured infrastructure. The first Polk County Courthouse was assembled in 1867 and this did solidify the city's position as county seat. Although Florida formally rejoined the union in 1868, Reconstruction did not end in Florida until 1877. The 1880s and 90s were a reconstructionof expansion for the town/city of Bartow; from 1880 to 1900, the town/city would expanded from 386 inhabitants to 1,983. On July 1, 1882 the town was incorporated as a city. In 1885, the Florida Southern Railroad, a north-south route from North Florida to Southwest Florida opened in Bartow. A year later, the Bartow Branch of the South Florida Railroad which connected Tampa and Orlando was completed. The barns s would turn into a catalyst to the expansion of the area; amid the Spanish American War, the Bartow rail yards became a crucial part of the supply line headed for troops in Cuba. In 1887, Summerlin Institute, the first brick schoolhouse south of Jacksonville was built. By the turn of the century, Bartow had turn into the most crowded city south of Tampa on the Florida peninsula larger than either Miami or West Palm Beach. As the town/city grew, a number of industries moved into the Bartow area.
In the first several decades of the 1900s, thousands of acres of territory around the town/city were purchased by the phosphate trade and Bartow would turn into the core of the biggest phosphate trade in the United States. Polk County was the dominant citrus county in the United States for much of the 20th century and the town/city has a several large groves.
In 1941, the town/city assembled an airport northeast of town. The airport was taken over by the federal government amid World War II and was the training locale for many Army Air Corps pilots amid the war. The airport was returned to the town/city in 1967 and retitled Bartow Municipal Airport. For most of the 20th century, Bartow's expansion was modest, especially in comparison to the rest of the county and state.
While other metros/cities in Polk County aggressively took in adjoining territory and allowed rapid growth, the government of Bartow generally took a more cautious approach. Another reason why Bartow's expansion had been slow was that most of the territory surrounding the town/city was owned by phosphate quarrying companies making residentiary expansion impractical. Although Bartow had been the biggest city in Polk county in 1900, by the 1910 U.S.
Enumeration Lakeland had surpassed Bartow in population. Bartow remained the second biggest city in the county until sometime in the 1950s when Winter Haven turn into more crowded than Bartow. In the late 1990s as phosphate operations in the region moved southward, and much of the former phosphate territory became available for sale. In 1999, Connecticut financier Stanford Phelps purchased the former Clear Springs phosphate lands east and south of town/city limits and announced plans for the biggest evolution universal in Polk County history. After nearly a decade of delays, the plan received final approval in 2009. The Clear Springs Development includes plans for more than 11,000 new homes, 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) of commercial space, three schools, and a golf course. According to the Central Florida Regional Planning Council, Bartow's populace is projected to expanded to over 25,000 citizens by 2015.
