It has been speculated that the origin of the name “Palma Ceia” means “seat” or “base” of the Palm, or “Palma Silla” by early Spanish speaking settlers. This heritage continues in the alma mater of H.B. Plant High School, located in Palma Ceia. The antique brick roads, shaded by enormous oaks and Palms, characterizes the intimate neighborhood. The wide range of housing designs and price ranges make this one of South Tampa’s premiere neighborhood for all stages of home ownership.
