History
Prior to European colonization, the area that makes up what is now Madeira Beach was rarely permanently inhabited. The local Tocobaga chiefdom used the land to harvest seafood, but did not live on the land.
The modern shape of Madeira Beach was formed by a hurricane, the "Gale of '48", carving out the strait now known as John's Pass. The new waterway was named after an early homesteader, John (Juan) Levique.
Several aborted attempts to settle the area occurred in the early 1900s, but it was not until 1926 that a causeway was built between the mainland and Madeira Beach, allowing for the first houses to be constructed in the area. A bridge was built crossing John's Pass a year later. The Town of Madeira Beach was officially incorporated as a municipality on May 5, 1947. The town officially became the City of Madeira Beach on August 8, 1951, when it annexed the nearby town of South Madeira. Significant dredging operations on the Intracoastal causeway dramatically expanded the land area of Madeira Beach in the 1950s and 1960s. Additionally, the city annexed some land on mainland Pinellas in 1955 for the construction of a shopping center and a school, now Madeira Beach Fundamental School.
