Around the latter part of the 1800’s, a group from Cedar Key, among them L. W. Hamlin explored the area and found a few settlers along the beach. The Hendrick family, according to a 1925 newspaper account, landed in the area in 1883 and homesteaded there. A settlement, Anona, has existed in the vicinity (on the mainland) since the mid-1800’s. With the opening of a road from the waterway to the vicinity of Largo, the Indian Rocks area became a favorite spot for picnickers. Residents worshiped at the old Anona Church and children attended the Anona School.

Among the early landmarks were the Indian Rocks Sundry Store, the Indian Beach Hotel and a railroad spur crossing the bay. After a number of years of declining use, the rail spur was removed. The first Indian Rocks Bridge was built in 1916, and a historical marker indicates its location, in the “Narrows”. The community grew and developed during its early days, but after World War II that growth started to accelerate rapidly. Today, Indian Rocks Beach is a thriving community that has maintained most of its original character, and supports a lively mixture of recreational activities.
