"Relocate America" has included eight Florida cities in its 2006 list of the 100 best cities to live and Bradenton was again chosen as a top 100 city for 2007. The list takes into account such factors as schools, economic health, population and crime rates. Bradenton, Sarasota, Venice, Punta Gorda, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Jupiter and Mount Dora all made the list. Manatee Chamber of Commerce President Bob Bartz thinks Bradenton's inclusion proves that it has been discovered, and he anticipates new development and redevelopment projects to emerge as a result. "We've been able to maintain much of our small-town feel in the area even while we're part of a major metropolitan area," says Bradenton Ward 4 Councilman Bemis Smith.
Bradenton is a city located in Manatee County, Florida and was discovered by Hernando De Soto at Shaw's Point in 1539. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 49,504.
