Bartow, the capital city of Imperial Polk county has enjoyed
steady, prosperous growth for over a century. Over the years, purebred
cattle roaming these still lush pastures have helped to make cattle,
along with citrus, phosphate, and government, a strong foundation
for Bartow's broad economic base. Bartow's enthusiastic, civic-minded
residents are dedicated to revitalizing their downtown district,
beautifying while preserving its history. In the spring, Bartow
plays host to the Blooming Arts Festival in the downtown area. The
Bartow Civic Plaza is a cool green meeting spot for shoppers and
visitors, providing a beautiful setting for cultural events. Also,
the Civic Center offers a broad range of recreational activities.
Bartow's careful, well-planned approach to growth has resulted in
the right combination modern conveniences and gracious Southern
charm
