Largo is the third largest city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States, and is part of the Tampa Bay Area. As of the 2014 Census estimate, the city had a population of 84,500, up from 69,371 in 2000.
Largo was first incorporated in 1905. In 1913, it became the first municipality in Pinellas County to adopt a council-manager government. It switched back and forth from "town" to "city" a few times, and became a city again in 1974. It was an exporter of agricultural products until the 1960s when the influx of people began to transform it into a bedroom community. From 1905 to 2010, Largo grew in area from 9/16ths of a square mile to about 19 square miles (48 km2), and in population from about 300 people to more than 70,000. Largo began as a rural farming community and became the third largest city in Florida's most densely populated county.
Largo is a sister city to Tosayamada, Kochi, Japan. In 2007, Largo had been named a National Arbor Day Tree City for the 28 year in a row and is the only city in Tampbay that is a Sterling Tree City.

Every close by. Friendly people
Where I reside is full of all ages.
A community that hires elderly. I see alot of elderly working at groceries and restaurants,
not for working, education, transportation and definitely not for health care......living condiditions so so........but parents and elderly are left to fend for themselves unless a neighbor will help them

As you can see Largo does not have a downtown, it was destroyed in the last 50 years. They are going to start rebuilding downtown with the first mixed used land building in Largo, its about time.
