Pinellas is the name of a peninsula located roughly half-way down the west coast of Florida. It forms the western boundary of Tampa Bay and comprises the bulk of Pinellas County. There is a city named Pinellas Park in south Pinellas. The peninsula is bounded on the north by Pasco County, Florida, on the northeast by Lake Tarpon and the Lake Tarpon Outflow Canal, and on the east and south by Tampa Bay. It is bounded on the west by the Intra-Coastal Waterway and Gulf of Mexico.

The name derives from "La Punta de Pinal de Jimenez" (Jimenez's Point of Pines,) given the entrance to Tampa Bay by Spanish explorers in 1757. The first settlers in the area include Antonio Maximo Hernandez, the McMullen family and Odette Philippe. Now highly urbanized, the Peninsula was once renowned for its wildlife, including Black bear, the Florida panther, and many species of birds.
