The Palmetto Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district, bounded by Twenty-first Avenue, Seventh Street, Fifth Avenue, and the Manatee River in Palmetto, Florida.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] The district includes the Palmetto Historical Park and the various historical buildings and museums it contains. It also includes the 1930-built building of the Palmetto Women's Club, which was listed on the National Register earlier in 1986. And it includes the 1914-built Carnegie library whose construction was a major accomplishment of the 1900-founded women's club.
In 1985, the 156 acres (63 ha) area included 292 buildings, 208 of which were deemed contributing buildings. The 84 non-contributing ones are not terribly instrusive, as they "generally respect the setback, scale and proportions of the contributing buildings."[2]
