New Port Richey was incorporated in 1924 and many flocked to this thriving city for its cultural heritage and unique riverfront landscape. Nature, beaches, shopping and culture all contribute to the city’s small town feel and when you stay at one of the New Port Richey hotels, you can enjoy it all.

With a total area of only 4.6 miles, New Port Richey is truly a small city but it’s rich in history and alive with festivals and special events all year. Before enjoying the local beauty, learn about the city at West Pasco Historical Society Museum, housed in a building that originally served as the Seven Springs school house. The museum has many permanent displays of early businesses in the area and has a typical early 1900s Pioneer Parlor.

After experiencing what it was like to live as a pioneer, see how it was to explore like one. The James E Grey Preserve is on the outskirts of town along the Pithlachascotee River. It’s the last thing you would see in a patch of land surrounded by modern-day subdivisions. An extensive boardwalk lines the waterfront to create the Palmetto Loop, which has beautiful overlooks of the river and a large cove on the opposite side. You can take the secondary loop which goes through an upland scrub habitat where you’ll see an abundance of rosebush and tarflower blooms.

Keep exploring at Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park, made of 3,296 acres including four miles of coastline and more than 80 percent marsh and submerged acres. Two natural limestone bridges go over the spring run which you can take to get to the other springs nearby, Cauldron Spring and Gar Spring. Aside from sightseeing, you can kayak, canoe, boat, fish, hike or picnic. This city is just 30 miles northwest of greater Tampa so more Florida adventures are coming your way.
